After months of preparation, the University Retirees Volunteer Center (URVC) has scheduled the launch of its revised website for April 8. The new URVC website will serve as the front door to an online volunteer management system powered by Better Impact. Persons who have volunteered through URVC in the past couple of years received an email in late March alerting them to the launch, and in the second week of April are to receive a second email with information for accessing the new system.
Better Impact will enable volunteers to review projects supported by URVC, select and sign up online to volunteer, and view and record their volunteer hours.
Most of the administrative effort leading to the implementation of Better Impact was done by URVC office staffer and volunteer Sally Schakel.
