Mozilla Service Week

Idealist is partnering with Mozilla (the organization behind the  Firefox internet browser) on its first annual Mozilla Service Week, which will match thousands of “techie” volunteers around the world with nonprofits in need of help with IT, web design, programming, blogging, and more.

Mozilla Service Week will take place September 14-21, 2009, and organizations are so eager for volunteers that a couple of thousand of them have already posted their opportunities.

If you are comfortable with technology and would like to help out, or if your organization could use some help, visit  http://mozillaservice.org

And to help spread the word to nonprofits and techies around the world, please go to:
