Video 826Michigan: Harnessing Robot & Volunteer Power
Last week, Concentrate's speaker event asked 826Michigan's executive director Amanda Uhle how her organization attracts and activates so many volunteers and what a robot repair store has to do with teaching kids to write. If you missed the event you can still learn the answers in our video.
826Michigan is not only a thriving nonprofit that reaches into classrooms in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and, now, Detroit, it’s an organization that understands the power that comes from establishing a unique “sense of place” and how to mobilize enthusiastic volunteers.
Concentrate invited 826Michigan’s executive director Amanda Uhle to talk about how 826Michigan attracts and mobilizes its volunteers, the challenges and opportunities it faces, and why having a robot repair store in downtown Ann Arbor is an intrinsic part of its success.
