Pro bono service could be one of the most underused tools in workforce development. As AI reshapes a reskilling of the workforce, early-career professionals need on-ramps and mid-career professionals need room to grow in new directions.

Moderator Cammie Erickson, Senior Director of Social Impact at @LinkedIn, will dig into it with John Kelly, CEO of @statecommision, Patrina Pettry, Early Careers Development & Experience Director at @WellsFargo, and Mary Zhu, Founder and Executive Director of @develop_4_good.

@Voya @WalmartOrg Together, they’ll help us set the standard for pro bono service and build toward a future where every nonprofit can be as bold and impactful as its mission demands.

Three different paths. One shared belief: expertise, generously shared, changes what’s possible.

Nonprofits do extraordinary work. In a moment of rapid change, they need experienced leaders in their corner who know how to turn data, technology, and innovation into stronger programs and measurable results for their missions.

AI won’t replace pro bono. If anything, it matters more now.

AI can build a financial model in minutes. It can’t help a board decide what to cut. It can suggest a new workflow. It can’t bring a skeptical team along.
