> Someone like you, willing to volunteer your skills even part-time, would be a God send. Lots of people have this idea, including me in the past. It doesn't work. Nonprofit professionals aren't stupid.

These are complex problems with lots of stakeholders that are highly tuned to whether you actually give a shit or whether you're a tourist trying to make yourself feel better about working for a big corporation.
