The goal of this project was to strengthen and structure the volunteer program at Taller Comunidad La Goyco, allowing for organizational growth and longevity. The team collaborated with staff and volunteers at La Goyco, a nonprofit community center in Santurce, Puerto Rico providing social services and cultural, health, and environmental initiatives. We volunteered at La Goyco to better understand the volunteer experience. We created the Welcome and Greeting Package to inform volunteers of opportunities; a Volunteer Management System to track and store data; and Business Partnership Resources to encourage community collaboration. These tools are intended for use by La Goyco and other community centers to improve volunteer orientation and integration, data tracking, and business outreach.
