Are you a social impact professional looking for some practical guidance on how to use data concepts or technologies? Do you want to connect with a data technologist to discuss your challenges? Are you looking for educational materials tailored to your work in the social impact space?

Through Nonprofit Data 101, DataKind provides webinars on various data science topics, followed by the option to participate in free 30-minute one-on-one consultations with DataKind volunteer experts.

To get started with using data science, you often need to set up your data governance system to ensure data is properly managed and secure. In this webinar, we walk you through the basics of data governance and security, sharing real social impact project examples. We explain what data governance is, how it can be used in the social sector, and discuss opportunities, constraints, and challenges that social impact organizations should consider.

Learning objectives:

- Understand what people are talking about when they say things like “data governance”, “personally identifiable information”, and more
- Understand an organization’s responsibilities for data governance throughout the data cycle
- See examples of how other social impact organizations have set up their data governance to enhance their mission
- Understand how data governance intersects with privacy and security
- Understand a hands-on example of how to address a data governance challenge
- Begin to think through the constraints & opportunities that impact how you might govern your data at your organization
- Be ready to talk to a data expert about your specific requirements in office hours!
