Finding the right type of professional to implement a development program can be extremely tough — and even more so if you can’t afford top-tier talent.
That’s why many organizations are looking to firms like MovingWorlds, which connects specialists in their field who want to travel and volunteer their expertise with social impact firms that need their services.
“Experteering,” as MovingWorlds calls it, seeks to move beyond traditional volunteerism and grow a global network of professionals who want to do good and match their skill sets to create high-impact engagements.
Find out more about how this model works in this Devex video interview with Mark Horoszowski, co-founder of MovingWorlds, on the sidelines of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Corporate Citizenship Center conference last September.
