I would like to do some non profit work or volunteering for child rights (a topic that im passionate about) in my spare time but really there is so little time for such things given my current WLB. Does anyone have good advice? Is there any meaningful work that I can do while spending just 3-4 hours on the weekend?

You could find a small non profit that needs some support in creating/implementing systems or fleshing out a deck for a project. That’s what I do - thinking through how this org can improve M&E. I don’t even do it every weekend, the timelines are very flexible

I discussed it casually with an MD that is involved with it, and there was a common geographical background. I’m sure people in McK have some links to non-profits :) maybe worth asking colleagues involved in pro-Bono work? Alternatively, just look online, I’m sure there is a board somewhere. E.g. in the Uk we have a charities register and several websites with charities listed out

In the Chicago office, we have two groups that work on this - Chicago Volunteering Hub and Chicago Community Consulting. They set up organized volunteering / small and informal pro bono stints like this. You can ask your PD or office manager to see if they know about these in your office!

thanks so much for the info!! Will reach out to relevant people and ask :)

The problem is that within an HOUR she has lost all patience with the baby. She gets frustrated so quickly if the baby is crying and will say things like “I’m just going to let her cry since nothing im doing helps” (cont)
