Join Our Kiva Team.

Work at Play is always thinking about making money =) That is -- helping out partners optimize their web presence, monetizing their digital content, and getting quick payback periods on any investment. Helping our partners make money through online channels is part of who we are. We also care about being socially responsible -- not only locally but to the world. So it is only fitting that we love kiva.org.

Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals [and work at play] to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs around the globe.

My hope is to energize the company (Work at Play) to get aboard helping the rest of the world.

By micro lending to entrepreneurs in developing nations, we can get our loans paid back (at no interest, naturally) and lend our money out again to other motivated entrepreneurs. For us, it is a much more engaging and social experience that allows us to help the world the way we help businesses (It's wicked fun too). Being involved also eliminates that feeling that one is a Slacktivist - this is REALLY helping people. To see who I am currently "investing" in, check out my profile on kiva.org: http://www.kiva.org/lender/jordanwillms or visit our team at http://www.kiva.org/team/workatplay. In invite all other Work at Play members, our partners and clients to join our lending team! So far, I'm personally doing great. I invest more than the average user, have no defaults, and zero delinquencies. By strategically picking the right folks, I hope to keep up this level of high performance ;) p.s. Not a Work at Play company employee? Another great team is the Vancouver team on kiva.org.
