Volunteer Impact is up and running. Thank you to all of you who have wholeheartedly embraced it, cautiously tried it out, or have reached out to Kelly and Jennifer to get assistance to get started.
If you need ANY help getting signed up, please don’t hesitate to ask Jennifer, Kelly, or Megan. We are here to help with this transition 🙂
You will need your username and password (if you need help with either, please let us know). To access your dashboard in Volunteer Impact, click here.
As we get used to the new system, we will continue offering the previous method of looking at the Program Schedule and calling the Day Captains to sign-up. We will do our best to keep both versions synced. Click below to see the classic version of the Program Schedule.
