Optimize Our Data Collection Practices

Our organization needs your help becoming more data-driven! We are looking for a volunteer who can audit our current data-intake sources and practices, and deliver recommendations for optimizing our efforts.

This pro bono work will ideally be a donation of 2-5 hours per week for one month by a volunteer. Tasks completed during this project may include:
-Audit of our nonprofit's existing data collection sources, including but not limited to: surveys, web or social media analytics, email stats, program intake forms, stakeholder feedback, focus groups, etc.
-Assess our current use of data collection tools (red: there is work to be done, yellow: proceed with caution, green: we're doing great!)
-Research alternative evaluation or data collection tools our nonprofit could use
-Present recommendations for how we can optimize our data efforts moving forward

Ms. JD is a national nonprofit on a mission to advance women in the legal profession — and we are looking for skilled data professionals to help us do it smarter. As we celebrate our 20th Anniversary and cross the $1 million revenue milestone, we are scaling our flagship programs — including LaddHer Up, the Limitless Awards & Gala, Determined to Rise, and the Law Student Leadership Academy — which means our data collection and management practices must keep pace. Right now, we are gathering information across registration platforms, donor records, program feedback, and event logistics without a unified, optimized system to capture it all.

That is where you come in. By helping us build cleaner data collection processes, you will directly shape how we measure the impact of programs that have already reached 500+ women associates from 100+ law firms and 200+ general counsel nationwide — and are growing every year. Your work will give our small but mighty team the insights we need to secure funding, recruit corporate partners, and make the case that investing in women lawyers changes the legal profession for everyone. This is not just a data project — it is the infrastructure behind a movement.

Our organization is committed to becoming more effective and efficient by leaning on data. We need to ensure that we're collecting the right information and in the right ways, first. We have identified a member of our team to be your point person on this project. We have gained leadership buy-in for this important work. Our team has also created a list of all current data collection methods that we are ready to share with the volunteer.
