"I thoroughly enjoy using my skills to help nonprofits, and I have been able to learn so much from the creative people I am helping. I have been able to strengthen my existing technology skills and learn new technical concepts at the same time. The Technology Connector's administrators make it easy to work on the projects while juggling work, family and other obligations. I'm enjoying myself immensely!"
Yvonne Goodall , Web Developer and Technology Volunteer, Towers Perrin
