Know How Coaching and Support
We provide project management support and coaching to volunteers and nonprofits during the execution of the project. When you accept a volunteer opportunity, we assist you and the nonprofit in writing the Scope of Work which defines the project and its outcomes and establishes roles and responsibilities.
Volunteer On Your Terms
You and the nonprofit decide the timeline for completion. Usually projects are flexible and stretch over a one to three month period, with an average of 2 to 4 hours per week. And, often the majority of work is done virtually.
Project Matching
We let you know about nonprofits nearby and their projects that best match your needs. We participate with you and the nonprofit staff at an introductory meeting to obtain detailed information about the project and get answers to your questions.
Additional Benefits
Know How Network volunteers are covered by supplemental Accident, Personal and Automobile Liability insurance while traveling to and from the nonprofit and at volunteer sites. Volunteers may request a modest stipend (currently a maximum of $10 per month) to defray the cost of getting to and from your volunteer location.
