  Do you want your (paid) summer internship to help raise $1 trillion for the
  world’s highest-impact nonprofits?

  We are looking for 1-2 engineers to join us this summer to build a new
  philanthropy platform focused on helping people leave significant portions
  of their estates to top charities.

  This is a paid internship, with compensation up to $15,000 for the full
  summer.

  The current team is Jenny Xia -- a founding member of Paribus (successfully
  exited to Capital One), former impact investor at Bain Capital, and frisbee
  fanatic -- and Patrick Schmitt, the former Head of Innovation at
  Change.org, ran email fundraising for Obama, and a Scrabble aficionado.

  The ideal new team member will be mission-aligned, with front-end and
  back-end experience (HTML/ Bootstrap, CSS, AngularJS, Python/ Django). If
  interested, please send your resume and a brief note about why you are
  interested to Patrick at p...@stanford.edu (mailto:p...@stanford.edu).
  Deadline for applications is December 21st.

  Come change the world with us!

  - Patrick & Jenny

Re: [change] Ethnographic perspectives on human centered design for social change?

[Jake Kendall]

Hi Yosem

Here is some stuff done by CGAP at the world bank applying HCD to financial
inclusion problems.
http://www.cgap.org/blog/so%E2%80%A6what-does-hcd-mean-financial-inclusion

https://www.cgap.org/blog/series/human-centered-design-smallholder-families

https://www.cgap.org/news/cgap-using-hcd-develop-digital-financial-services-smallholders

http://www.cgap.org/publications/what-human-centered-design-means-financial-inclusion

My sense is (from the more realistic people who work there) that despite
some publications like the ones above touting the potential of HCD they
actually felt it failed more often than not because it came up with
interesting product insights but didn't achieve the organizational and
architectural/systemic change needed to implement them.
