Data-driven workplace for the not-for-profit sector

Data science is helping to power social reform. New tools allow us to collect, distil, understand and act on data like never before, hastening the pace of change. But to create meaningful and sustained change, the hard-won knowledge and experience of not-for-profit organisations must be respected and harnessed.

Our Community House houses Our Community’s Innovation Lab, who are refining data processes and sharing lessons to help amplify collective impact in the social sector. The Innovation Lab run events in function spaces and provide advice to members.

Members can access:

• An on-site, social sector-specific data science team

• Data communication specialists

• Regular data science meet-ups & workshops

Tutorials

Topics in our tutorial sequence include The What & Why of Data Science for NFPs, Asking the Right Questions, Initiating Successful Data Projects, and Getting Hands-On with Data Quality.

Data Lab tutorials are free and come with a complimentary Day Pass that provides you access to Our Community House co-working facilities for the duration of the day.
