The exciting, equity-focused episode features Jody Britton, the Director of Learning Technology at Team4Tech, a nonprofit impact accelerator focused on education in under-resourced communities. Jody discusses the organization's mission, which involves leveraging skilled volunteers to support nonprofits working in education, emphasizing the importance of long-term commitments and community engagement to amplify the impact of these organizations.
Jody highlights the challenges faced by nonprofits, such as limited resources and access to technology, and shares examples of impactful initiatives, including heartwarming stories of empowerment, where initiatives like Girl Pioneers and digital photography programs are empowering young women to unleash their full potential.
