The goal of this project was to identify weaknesses in the Caño3.7 volunteer program and address them. To realize this goal, we first met with the heads of departments within the organization to identify their needs. Following this, we met with third party volunteer management system (VMS) vendors while simultaneously developing a custom solution focused on Caño3.7’s unique requirements. This project resulted in the further development of a custom solution that can generate project summaries and display volunteer analytics in tandem with the creation of an open-source version of the custom VMS that can be accessed by anyone, provided with sufficient documentation for further customization.
