LinkedIn wants to make it easier for its members to put their professional skills to use for social good.
The social network has created a new Volunteer Marketplace, which features service opportunities offered by BoardSource, Taproot Foundation, VolunteerMatch, and other organizations that aggregate such positions.
Nonprofits can also search for LinkedIn members who have expressed an interest in either serving on boards or volunteering their professional expertise. The company says that in the last six months, more than 600,000 people have shown an interest in getting involved.
