      Organizational Development Intern

      I found the work at Volu to be more of a cause I wanted to support. I have worked previously with non-profit organizations and continue to work with Prerana. I saw the difficulties faced by small to medium sized organizations in managing their volunteers. As such I was keen on working with Volu, and help them with their mission to build a volunteer management platform to aid volunteers and non-profit organizations alike.Here are some of my responsibilities:Collaborated with stakeholders to gather requirements and design data management system to track volunteer hours and activities.Analyzed website and social media traffic data to generate performance reports and determine marketing strategy effectiveness.Conducted secondary research to identify support forum platform alternatives and assisted in the vendor selection process.Managed a team of six responsible for planning and execution of marketing initiatives.
