I collaborated with Dr. Jesse Lecy and Thiya Poongundranar to showcase improvements to the nonprofit sector open data infrastructure at the 2024 ARNOVA Conference. My section of the workshop presented a case study narrating the various capabilities of the new infrastructure made possible through the investment of the National Center for Charitable Statistics and the work of Jesse and Thiya.

Invited Talk: Volunteering as a pathway to nonprofit and public sector employment: An analysis of millennials

March 27, 2024

Talk, University of Maryland, School of Public Policy, Research Seminar Series

I presented work by Dr. Femida Handy and myself on the relationship between volunteering and sector of employment at UMD’s Research Seminar Series. This study hypothesizes that early-career volunteering serves as a pathway for mid-career nonprofit and public sector employment. We find a strong relationship between early-career volunteering and nonprofit employment. Interestingly, similar results for public sector work are not observed. Presentation slides.
