Want to give back to your community by volunteering your blue team skills, but don't want to turn into a small nonprofit's 24/7 unpaid on-call helpdesk? We'll explore ways you can maximize your happiness & social impact by taking your blue team talents into the volunteer space. You'll learn how to avoid re-inventing the wheel when it comes to blue team charity work, along with many lessons learned on avoiding volunteerism burnout due to a busy dayjob. When done properly, volunteering your technology skillset or helping to train/mentor others interested in your occupation can have a gigantic positive impact both to your community and your mental wellbeing! When done poorly, you might burn bridges and find yourself more stressed out than necessary due to a volunteer situation gone wrong. Don't do that to yourself; attend this talk and let's make the world a better place one blue team volunteer opportunity at a time!
