GDG NYC members apply their skills to help a local nonprofit reach higher

Google Developer Group (GDG) NYC, led by Anna Nerezova, has been leveraging its expertise in Google Cloud technologies to assist Positive Planet US, a nonprofit focused on alleviating poverty through entrepreneurship. Over the past year, GDG NYC members have applied their skills in building the nonprofit's digital infrastructure, including a website, secure payment systems, and email campaigns, all while adhering to Google's Core Web Vitals and page experience guidelines. This collaboration not only enhances the nonprofit's operational capabilities but also offers GDG members the chance to apply their cloud skills for social good. Positive Planet US, which originated in France and has helped millions escape poverty globally, launched its US branch in New York City to drive economic growth in underserved communities post-pandemic. As part of their efforts, Positive Planet US also runs the Accelerator Hub for Minority Women Entrepreneurs, providing coaching and resources to help women from disadvantaged backgrounds start and grow their businesses. With ongoing initiatives like the Accelerator Hub and upcoming GDG events, Anna continues to seek opportunities for GDG members to contribute meaningfully to community development.
