The Website Once-Over Opportunity is brought to you by the University Honors Program at Northern Illinois University and the DeKalb County Nonprofit Partnership (DCNP). It’s a chance for DCNP members to receive an unbiased website review from NIU Honors students and for students to have a meaningful volunteer experience. Even if your organization participated in the past, you are welcome to apply again — especially if you have made website changes or simply want more feedback!
