4/23-4/29 Come Volunteer with our User Group! - Alteryx For Good Volunteering

[LaurenU]

Hi Everyone,

We are interested in getting involved with Alteryx For Good Week (April 23-April 29). During this week User Groups from around the world are giving back to their local Communities by volunteering with a local nonprofit. We think this is a fun activity to get together for team building and to do good. 

There was a suggestion for Hands On Atlanta that has lots of volunteering activities during AFG Week. Is anyone currently working with Hands On Atlanta? Or does this sound like a fun organization to volunteer with?

Is anyone currently volunteering with a nonprofit that would be a good fit for Alteryx For Good Week?

We are interested in getting involved with Alteryx For Good. Who would be available to volunteer during April 23-29 and what time range works best (Morning, Afternoon, Evening)? 

PS Check out these cool t-shirts we'll get!

I haven't worked with HandsOnAtlanta in a while but it's a great organization and has lots of opportunities. I'd be interested in volunteering but would needs details of what days or days available and my preference would be evenings.

I think if it was planned in such a way that volunteers are spread through the week on one or more projects, we may have a better chance of having representation through out the week and provide the needed flexibility for all that would be interested in participating.

Hi @wale_ilori thank you for the feedback.

I think one of the things I love about Hands On Atlanta and why they stood out to me is they have so many opportunities during the week...I think having the User Group spread out and do different days is completely possible!

To get the ball rolling. What days and hours work best for you?

Tuesday or Friday

Here is an update on the list of opportunities that we have been looking into organizing for volunteer week:

• Atlanta Soap Project – Still looking into
• Habitat for Humanity – Full
• Atlanta Food Bank – Availability  4/24-4/28 @ 9am-12pm
• 5-20 slots for volunteers
• Hands On Atlanta – Website has multiple options 
• Trees Atlanta- Availability 4/29 @9am-12pm
• 5-10 slots for volunteers to plant ferns

What is everyone's input on which event/timing would be best?

[Rvandeve]

Late afternoon or evening would be best during the week. That said, it seems that Hands On Atlanta may be best since they have the only afternoon options for weekdays.

I would like to volunteer in an event during that week. Preferably Monday or Wednesday. Let me know what event, day and time.

Thanks!

Boom!  Registered.

I'm still trying to get something going data-wise with Hands on Atlanta or MedShare.  

The (Atlanta/) Global Soap Project has moved out to Vegas, so working with them is going to be more difficult (though not impossible).
