I am leading a team of 5 consultants to work with Hand Over Hand a non-profit based in Hamilton, to increase their volunteer retention and engagement, improve brand awareness and reduce the organizational burden on executives. I've created a volunteer engagement tracker to identify and measure KPIs while working with the client to ensure ease of use. My team has identified current inefficiencies and subsequently developed solutions in the client’s systems and processes including creating a well-structured volunteer application form, a more engaging website and volunteer portal, and a volunteer profile for internal use and ranking.
