Welcome
Welcome to the May issue of our volunteer newsletter which has a feminine theme. This is in honour of the Girl Geek Dinner Event, hosted by iT4C, on 25th June. Gentlemen, please don't stop reading, there's plenty for everyone and if you know a girl geek then forward this to them and get them involved.
- Girl Geek Dinners - skills share events for women (and invited men)
- 1 million flowers bloom - web2.0 and accessibility
- Women In Technology - jobs listing and events, they recently hosted a talk by Baroness Susan Greenfield "Banana Skins, Bottlenecks and Elephant Traps: The Perilous Journey for Women in IT"
- Career breaks, heartbreaks and a change of heart! When a change is better than a rest.
- Can you contribute to our case studies?
- BCS Women's Group - free mentoring
- Our usual round-up of IT and volunteering related events
- The all-important opportunities of the month - charities in urgent need of help
As always we love to hear from you. If you have comments on any of the features in this newsletter, about iT4Communities or about your volunteering please get in touch with us via info@it4communities.org.uk
