Hi all, I work for Atrium, a tech consulting group. We're looking for opportunities for employees to virtually mentor, tutor, or coach in the technical, math, and/or business arenas. Does anyone have suggestions for specific organizations that would need this service on a regular basis?
Thank you!

Hi Molly, in 2020 some of the other pledge 1% companies helped us to source virtual volunteer opportunities, here are a few options that I think might be helpful: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TBz7yAP-ad93DIX5OhkX4RpKBBQWJGWuk6eT6CWlVNM/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you so much, Miles! Did you end up connecting with any of these organizations? If so, I'd love to hear about your experience of consistency, communication, number of folks needed, etc.

Hello Molly,
I work for the I.am Angel Foundation, which has implemented over 160 robotics teams across LAUSD this year. We are looking for virtual volunteers to support our teams this month and part of next month. I would love to connect if you are interested in receiving more information about our program!

Hi there, I'd love to hear more about this. I don't seem to be able to direct message you -- could you please send me a direct message or reply here with detail about how best to discuss further? Thank you!

Hi Molly! Great post - thank you for reaching out to the community on this front. YearUp, CityYear, MENTOR would be good organizations to reach out to as they have regular, already-baked opportunities for employees. Let me know if you want to jump on a call too!

Thanks, Tim! I'd love to jump on a call to discuss further. Feel free to message me directly to schedule a time.
