This may be the wrong place for this question, but is there anywhere I can offer my services as a Jira architect/admin as volunteer work?  I would like to offer to help build projects for non-profit organizations, free of charge.  Not sure how I would get started with something like this.

Hi Melanie, 

ABSOLUTELY! 

I run Atlassian's global skilled volunteering program, Engage 4 Good and we always have nonprofits needing a hand. 

Eventually we would love this community group to be the place where nonprofits will come to ask questions and our community leaders can help them out. 

In the meantime, would you like to email foundation@atlassian.com with some info about yourself, timezone, company etc. and I can connect you with an organisation in need of help? 

Cheers

Lauren

@Lauren Black thank you.

That's a way better answer than I could give, and I would love to hear more about Engage 4 Good.

@Lauren Black I have just emailed that address. THANK YOU!!

Because it's about working for people, I'd be tempted to move this to the "jobs" section, but I think it's actually better here.

It's a good place to talk about charitable work, and your offer to help out is fantastic.  So not in the wrong place at all!

Thank you!
