The world is finally catching up to what designers have known for a long time: Design is a powerful tool for social change. Whether redesigning a physical space, a process, a campaign, or the government, designers have the opportunity to use their skills to demonstrate that power. But how can designers best get involved in causes and organizations? Pro bono is one answer, but it's just a small part of the larger design for the social impact movement. Hear from organizations and designers who balance their client work with pro bono offerings and learn how you can get started. Panelists include Mark Randall, principal of Worldstudio; Kristina Drury, founder and creative director of THTHEdesign; David Frisco, principal of DFD: David Frisco Design and Chelsea Mauldin, director of the Public Policy Lab. The panel will be moderated by Adrienne Schmoeker of Catchafire, a company pushing the social good sector forward by matching professionals with nonprofits based on their skills, cause interest and time availability. **For more information contact:** Adrienne Schmoeker at **When**: October 22nd from 6:30 - 8pm **Location**: WeWork SOHO West, 69 Charlton Street, 8th floor lounge **Sign up for this FREE event**: [![Taproot logo](/sites/default/files/2023-08/Taproot_Logo_Navy%20%282%29.png)](/profiles/taproot) ### More from Taproot Foundation ###### [Taproot Panel: A Conversation With Experienced Skills-Based Volunteers](/news/taproot-panel-conversation-experienced-skills-based-volunteers) Feb 6, 2024 8:00 AM ET ###### [Volunteer Support for Nonprofits' 2024 Marketing Plan ](/news/volunteer-support-nonprofits-2024-marketing-plan) Jan 4, 2024 8:00 AM ET ###### [Donate Your Time & Expertise to Great Causes on #GivingTuesday](/news/donate-your-time-expertise-great-causes-givingtuesday) Nov 14, 2023 8:00 AM ET ###### [5 Ways To Make a Difference During the Holidays](/news/5-ways-make-difference-during-holidays) Nov 8, 2023 8:00 AM ET ###### [Donating Your Skills During the Holiday Season](/news/donating-your-skills-during-holiday-season) Oct 23, 2023 8:00 AM ET ###### [How Your Professional Talents Can Support Environmental Nonprofits](/news/how-your-professional-talents-can-support-environmental-nonprofits) Oct 20, 2023 1:00 PM ET ###### [Build Your Resume While Making a Difference](/news/build-your-resume-while-making-difference) Sep 22, 2023 12:13 PM ET ###### [Prepare Your Nonprofit’s Holiday Giving Campaign](/news/prepare-your-nonprofits-holiday-giving-campaign) Aug 24, 2023 11:34 AM ET
