This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Editor's Notes
Cleveland GiveCamp: Using Your Super Powers for Good
Interested in using your Wordpress skills for the greater good? Learn more about Cleveland GiveCamp, an annual hackathon style weekend where we work on tech projects for local non-profits. We work with about 20 non-profits per year and have about 200+ volunteers working all day (and night) to save time, money, and to give back to our community.
This year’s event is July 20th - 22nd and registration is now open at http://clevelandgivecamp.org. At this talk we’ll discuss different ways to use your talents for building a better world through volunteering your skills, mentoring others, and sponsoring events and orgs you’d like to see more of in the world.
This was the original title slide that I had in place.
A huge thanks to Michelle Ames for basically covering everything in my talk :)
I’ll be purposefully blocking off time to answer questions about GiveCamp and the ways that people can assist after my presentation.
This is my cousin Addie; she’s a super hero
I’m talking, legitimately thinks that she is a super hero.
Because she’s a kid, and the entire world is laid out in front of her to grasp.
Think of all the things that she does for the first time that blow away her little mind. Being a kid is awesome.
But here’s the thing. All of us here today could be a super hero.
Just think about it for a second…
Hello, I’m Jonathan Knapp. In 2006, I started a small company called Coffee in Code. I wanted to build cool things for other people. I wanted to help ideas become realities.
One of the nice side effects of running you own company is I get to do things my way. That can come off a bit egotistical and arrogant, but what I mean by this is that I have the unique ability to determine where time, energy, effort, and money are spent as a company.
That allows me to support more of what I want to see more of in the world.
Over the years, I realized that it takes a lot of time, effort, money, sweat, and tears to make things happen. I noticed that without explicit action, things you take for granted may one day be gone. So, early on I did a bunch of things, many of which everyone in this room can start doing as well.
Tell people they are appreciated and that their work is meaningful to you. Everyone can and should do this. It’s important to provide positive feedback to things that you want to see more of because most of the time, they are labor of love projects from extremely amazing people.
It’s easy to leave negative reviews, but we don’t remember how helpful positive feedback can be.
I’ve brought some thank you cards to help you get a head start. If you’ve enjoyed the conference I encourage you to thank the organizers with a card.
I’ve organized quite a few events and have only received a thank you card once or twice. Trust me, that if you take just a bit of your the time that your actions will be remembered for a long time.
How to you help guarantee that things will continue in future years?
Help promote events and get the word out. Flood social media with energetic messages and pictures that capture the energy of events so help create more future participation.
Reach out to local meetup organizers and ask to talk on a subject. If you’re new to speaking this is a great way to get started. You can even ask to pitch a mini presentation at as a 5 minute lightning talk.
Bring up sponsorship opportunities at your work. Contemplate sponsoring on your own.
Don’t think that you have to get bigger to be able to give back either. I sponsored Steel City Ruby in 2013 when it was still a company of one.
In case you’re interested, I didn’t have anything to put in the booth space I was offered as a sponsor so I made a sign out of cardboard, macaroni noodles, and stickers from Guitar Hero. It got a few chuckles.
Run a meetup, organize a study group, reach out to an existing group and ask how you can help.
Reach out to help people who are getting started. You’ll be surprised what you learn in return.
So let’s circle back to this “we could be super heros” thing.
Hopefully, what I’ve said, and what other speakers at this conference have said, have gotten you think a bit about what you have to give back.
But what if you’re still not sure of your next move… here’s a bit of confidence.
What if I told you that you already are a super hero, or you at least have super powers.
Example of talking “mom” through printing a website or setting up a printer. That’s an area where you can provide a lot of value without a lot of effort on your part. To be fair, walking through a print dialog over the phone takes quite a bit of effort.
Are there other skills that you have, possibly ones you enjoy leveraging a bit more, that you can provide as well?
I would imagine almost everyone at this conference has the ability to create websites from thin air. To take a concept that exists in someone’s head…
and to make it a reality! Remember how powerful you felt when you created your first website?
But we all have some secrets…
We have some pretty cool tools that help us wield these super powers. Using tools like WordPress we can develop websites faster and more productive than handwriting a bunch of html and css. We can utilize existing plugins, themes, code examples, tutorials, and more.
As you acquire more responsibilities in life, the time that you have available becomes less and less. That’s why I love opportunities that allow me to maximize my provided value for the amount of time required.
That leads me into talking about GiveCamp, the main reason I’m here. It’s an annual event that is coming up July 20th through the 22nd in Cleveland, OH. I’m one of 12 other current organizers that work hard to keep this event coming back year after year.
July 20th - 22nd, over 200 volunteers will come together to help area non-profits with their technical problems.
I like to call it condensed volunteerism. It’s when you give a whole lot in a short amount of time. Filling up your karma meter in a weekend.
It’s all about higher value output for your time.
So how does WordPress related to GiveCamp? You may be able to guess, but most non-profits, like most companies are not the most technically savvy and greatly benefit from a platform that is focused on sharing functionality and simplifying administration. About 90% of our projects each year are helping to build, upgrade, or transfer to WordPress sites for a non-profits main website, their donation platform, or their internal business software.
We even do a few training sessions during the weekend to help train non-profits on how to manage and maintain their new websites.
We need more than just developers to complete a project in a weekend.
Here’s an example of the amazing people that make GiveCamp a success.
While we focus heavily on the “giving”, there is also camping available during the event for those brave soles who love the outdoors.
While I’m not a big camper myself, you’ve got to agree that this is a beautiful view.
We cap off the event with presentations from each of the project teams to explain a bit about where they started, what they accomplished, and how that work is going to help the non-profit execute its mission.
So what do you think about GiveCamp? Will you join me?
Here are a few lists of the non-profits we’ve been able to help over the past 8 years.
Now that you know a bit more about the skills that are required to bring a lot of value to a local non-profit, who’s interested in becoming a super hero?
Or, at the very least, just remember….
At the end of the day, we’re all in this together. Positive change and community impact require action and intention and I hope that I’ve been able to inspire at least a few of you to dive in a bit deeper so that we can all benefit collectively.
I hope this presentation has made you feel a bit more confident in your ability to use your own “super powers” for good, improving the world just a tad bit more than how it was revealed to you.
We live in a seemingly weird time where a little extra kindness and an explicit attempt to generate goodwill can go a long way. I encourage you to leverage that opportunity to the fullest.
If anyone has questions, or would like to talk more about my presentation, feel free to introduce yourself after this talk. You can find out more about myself and my company at coffeeandcode.com.
Thank you very much! I hope everyone has enjoyed the conference and has a great rest of the weekend.
