Use your skills for something that lasts.
48in48 brings together marketing and technology pros to build websites nonprofits couldn't otherwise afford. One weekend. One site (or two). One real outcome.
Register for the Next Event
One team. One nonprofit. 48 hours.
You'll join a Build Team paired with one or two nonprofits. Over 48 hours — Friday 6pm to Sunday 6pm ET — you'll go from kickoff through final polish and QA, with sites launching the following week.
Don't fit those roles exactly? Support Teams cover SEO, QA, accessibility, help desk, marketing, and onsite logistics — shorter time commitments, same impact.
Project Manager
Organizes the project, keeps the team on track, and ensures alignment with the nonprofit's goals.
Designer
Creates look and feel, selects branding elements, and ensures a visually appealing website.
WordPress Builder
Uses Beaver Builder to bring the design to life and optimize the site for user experience.
Content Manager
Reviews content for clarity, grammar, and SEO best practices.
Sign up. Show up. Ship something real.

Volunteers tell it best.

What you might be wondering.
Yes. Every event is fully hybrid. You can join from anywhere.
Build Teams are encouraged to participate as much of the 48 hours as possible — but yes, you can sleep and eat. Support Teams are shorter commitments. Planning Committee is roughly 3 hours/week for 12 weeks before an event.
No. We provide training and resources for every role. You do need to be comfortable in your skill area (design, dev, PM, content), but we'll show you how we work.
Yes — there's no cost to volunteer. The only optional expense is an event t-shirt, which volunteers can purchase if they'd like a piece of 48in48 swag to take home.
Can't make October? Hear about the next one first.
