dataCorps

dataCorps is a program that connects data science and engineering professionals with non-profit organizations to address critical social challenges. It operates by recruiting experienced data professionals who volunteer their time and expertise to work on specific projects for a defined period, typically several months. These projects can range from building predictive models to improve program effectiveness, developing dashboards for impact measurement, or assisting with data infrastructure development.

The program aims to leverage the power of data to amplify the impact of organizations working in areas such as public health, education, environmental protection, and social justice. dataCorps provides a structured framework for these collaborations, offering project management support and ensuring that the data professionals are well-equipped to meet the needs of their non-profit partners. By facilitating these partnerships, dataCorps helps non-profits gain access to advanced analytical capabilities that they might not otherwise be able to afford or access.

Participants in dataCorps benefit from the opportunity to apply their skills to meaningful causes, expand their professional networks, and gain valuable experience in the non-profit sector. The program has established a track record of successful projects that have led to tangible improvements in the operations and impact of participating organizations. dataCorps is often supported by foundations and other philanthropic entities that recognize the value of data-driven solutions for social good.
