About the host
The Global Pro Bono Network’s mission is to promote knowledge sharing, mutual support, and collaboration among pro bono providers around the world. The Network acts as a catalyst for social impact by building the capacity of the social sector through supporting its intermediary member organizations.
The 2020 Global Pro Bono Summit local host is Pro Bono Lab in Paris.
Pro Bono Lab is the specialist in civic engagement through the sharing of skills. All over France, as well as in 30 other countries via the Global Pro Bono Network, we spread the belief that “skills are public goods”, a belief that triggered the creation of our non-profit organisation by its co-founders back in 2011. We enable great societal causes to sustainably develop by gathering, for each of them, skills that committed women and men are able to offer pro bono.
Our ambition? Make sure that each of these causes gets access to the skills they need to achieve their potential and generate as much social impact as possible.
Through our large programmes of general interest, our research work, our prospective club, our consulting and training activities and our advocacy effort, our team puts all stakeholders in our society, little by little, in a #probono mode.
