Healthy & Secure Computing Workshops

Attend a free technology training and receive a $100 TechSoup Stock voucher!*

Who should attend

Many small nonprofits don’t have the resources to hire a full-time IT person and often recruit the most computer-savvy person on staff to be the "accidental techie." Space is limited, so the in-trainings are restricted to:

• Does your organization do regular backups of important files on all desktop computers and your server
• Do you regularly update the antivirus and spyware protection on your computers?
• Do you know what technology your organization has – and needs

If you're an "accidental techie" and you're not sure about the answers to these questions, then join us for the free "Healthy and Secure Computing Workshop," brought to you by TechSoup. These trainings are aimed at program staff with little or no IT background who performs IT tasks routinely in their organizations.

Register online:

Webinars – participate via the web (open to anyone):

The following files were used for the webinar. Their content was taken from our HSC workbook, and contains useful worksheets to help nonprofits organize their technology inventory, collect important phone numbers and passwords, and track technical issues.
