Quality Time with PR Minds is a one-day community service opportunity for PR professionals, presented in partnership with the Center for Nonprofit Management.

Now celebrating its 18th anniversary, this annual event brings together professional volunteers and local nonprofits for one-on-one counseling.
This year we are excited to offer a Spanish language option to the nonprofits that join.

This is a great opportunity to give back to the organizations that make Los Angeles a great place to live and work and is a unique venue for collaboration and knowledge sharing. Gain insight as you team up with other PR professionals and nonprofits for productive brainstorming sessions.

All PR, communications and marketing professionals with at least two years of experience from anywhere in Southern California are welcome to volunteer. No experience working with nonprofits? No worries! You’ll be teamed up with other professionals to help come up with great ideas.

Use your creative thinking and problem-solving skills to help local nonprofits with their communication challenges!

PR pro volunteers will be able to register for either session or both!
