The goal is not simply task completion.
It is helping volunteers become informed, connected ambassadors for the mission.
Expanding Community Participation
Flexible virtual and digital opportunities can help nonprofits reach people across different schedules, locations, communities, and networks,
making it easier for more people to stay connected to the mission.
How Participation Expands
Flexible participation opportunities can be shared across schools, community groups, faith communities, businesses, and supporter networks
in ways that fit today’s schedules and participation realities.
A System, Not Another Platform
Impact Squad is not an app, software platform, volunteer marketplace,
or fundraising system. It does not supply volunteers.
Your nonprofit recruits the people.
Impact Squad gives you the structured system to educate, equip, and activate them.
Impact Squad complements traditional volunteering
by giving nonprofits another way to engage people who want to help.
