It does seem like a long time to wait to speak to them, so you might want to consider giving them a phone call. Although perhaps your time would be better spent contacting 4 or 5 other non-profits by email. I got a response from the non-profit up the road from me within 24 hours and had a meeting the following day. They said to me "how did you know we were having database issues?" I said, I didn't, and that I just emailed them on spec. There are all sorts of organizations that are having technical issues and haven't necessarily got to the point of asking for help. Since sending emails is low cost, you can potentially get in early by just emailing a few organizations randomly so to speak. <br /><br />Here's the email for United Self Help: director@unitedselfhelp.org<br /><br />http://unitedselfhelp.org/ush1/index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id=1&Itemid=3<br /><br />There's also the non-profit job listings in craigslist:<br /><br />http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/npo/<br /><br />Even if you don't want any of these jobs, it gives you emails in non-profits.<br /><br />And here's a list of Oahu non-profits:<br /><br />http://www.freshairoahu.com/deals/sponsored-links/non-profits/<br /><br />and of course there's Aloha United Way:<br /><br />https://www.auw.org/Sam Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788506730233381803noreply@blogger.com
