Welcome to the Nonprofit Salesforce How-To Series repository!

Here we will be tracking the work of the Open Source Commons project, which creates short, digestible NPSP How-To videos from NPSP documentation. This project is community led with the help, support, and encouragement of our allies at Salesforce.org. Watch this space for ways you can help!

Volunteer and join the discussion on the Trailblazer Community

NPSP How-To Video Youtube Channel

Starting in 2021, we will begin managing our open projects here in github. Head to the Projects tab to see what's in the works! Please excuse our dust-- volunteers to add to documentation & processes welcome!

Check out our Wiki for instructions, sample scripts, and more!

View the scripts in our current backlog here. Note! You don't have to be an expert on the topic to contribute; you will be following documentation. But you probably will be an expert by the time you are done!

• Spanish
• French
• German
• Japanese
• Dutch
• Hebrew

Process TBD at Feb 2022 mini-sprint.

Here are some of the videos that will soon need narration. Anyone with a decent internet connection, a headset with a good mic, and a confortable speaking voice can volunteer. We usually record some scripts at every sprint.
