029 - Volunteering as a Project Manager with Sophie Brydon

Time Limit

“I had really wanted a volunteering opportunity for a while. I knew that I had skills I could give to a charity, I just needed to find the right one.””

Have you ever thought about using your project management powers for good causes. Well, maybe you are in your day-to-day job, but there’s always an opportunity to help a group or charity who are looking for help. Project management skills are needed in every corner of life, so bringing those skills to the table to an organization who needs help can not only help to level-up that organization, but make you feel like you’re making an impact with your own personal expertise. In this episode, we talk to Sophie Brydon, a member of the digital project management community, about how she’s offering her PM super powers to help a new charity in her region, The Hygiene Bank.
