Who are digital voluntolds?

"Digital Voluntolds" refers to individuals who didn't expect to be doing tech but were asked to manage technology for their nonprofit organizations. Remember that one time your coworker was having computer issues, and you casually told them to restart and now you are running all the tech? Voluntolds may not necessarily have a formal background in technology but are responsible for managing some aspects of the organization's technology systems, tools, or data. The role can vary greatly depending on the size and resources of the nonprofit, but generally involves tasks such as managing databases, setting up systems, reviewing data, and troubleshooting technical issues.

PRE-REGISTER FOR THE COURSE

Hi, I'm Tim Lockie

Founder & CEO of The Human Stack

Just a heads up, my pronouns are he/him/his. Now, let me give you the rundown on who I am. I've been around the nonprofit and tech world for over 20 years, juggling more roles than a circus performer. I'm talking volunteer, youth worker, camp counselor, music instructor, foster parent, board member, finance director, bookkeeper, recruiter, and community administrator - I've done it all! It's safe to say I've worn more hats than a hat shop. But all jokes aside, my experiences have shown me how system deficiencies can really impact an organization - from missed opportunities to damaged relationships. That's why I'm super passionate about Digital Transformation, and I believe it's something that all nonprofits can benefit from, no matter their size. And let me tell you, I'm completely obsessed with The Human Stack - it's like my version of Netflix binge-watching.

Module 7: Bonus Lessons

We're living in such a fast-moving, fast-paced world. We almost can't keep up at times for many reasons. If we let it IN, technology has so much for us to learn and connect with in order to help us (learn, grow and develop) but only if we connect as HUMANS with it. The Human Stack does just that, it brings the human elements back to technology, which is sooo needed! #innovation #technologymatters #humanity #humanstack

Elana Weinstein

CEO + Founder

I see this framework as a very different, simple (in its complexity), and practical way of creating more capacity for nonprofits and helping them break the huge barrier of keeping up with technology.

Digital maturity is not a benefit it is a necessity. The Human Stack is a must-have for organizations looking to end the tech struggle by listening to the humans who are struggling

The magic of triage!

Technology is hard, rapidly changing, and simply too big to understand every aspect. That is why our secret to digital maturity is focusing on the importance of triage when managing technology questions and requests. The objective is to learn how to categorize requests and determine which action bucket they belong in, actionable this month, ask the Community, and other buckets.

The goal is to help get everything you can't work on out of the way in an organized fashion so you can focus on things you can do. The course also covers the importance of knowing how to ask questions and the difference between tech stack solutions and human stack solutions.
