Meetup/Mashup provides you an opportunity to direct your talent and programming skills to nonprofits focused on making positive social change, to see how others are using to technology to enact positive social change, and an opportunity meet some passionate people working to make the communities where we live and work a better place.

Non-profit organizations need your help with a range of challenges including:
