I suppose I throw around the phrase “social entrepreneur” an awful lot without actually explaining what it means. The Skoll Foundation is better at defining things than I am, and they recently made a neat little video profiling a few social entrepreneurs and summarizing the field as a whole. Plus its only 9 minutes, which is [...]

One of the hot topics in nonprofit land this month is the launch of AllForGood, a new site that pulls volunteer opportunities from various nonprofit websites and aggregates them to make it easier for everyone to volunteer.

I suppose it’s meta-post time for CommuniBlog, the bloggy arm of the greatest website of our time. We’re here to keep you informed and engaged in everything related to Communiteach and all other interesting bits of knowledge and goodness in the world.
For now, we’ll be populating this thing with CommuniTeach fun-facts, random ramblings on social [...]
