Program Synopsis
The Ronald McDonald House Charity of Jacksonville (RMHC Jax) serves as a “home away from home” for families who need to be near a hospital for their child’s medical treatment. At RMHC Jax, families are provided lodging, meals, transportation and a community of compassionate care. RMHC Jax serves over 1500 families a year from 21 states and 14 foreign countries. In order to do so, the typically in-person volunteer base is critical to the operational success of the House. Volunteers also tend to be dedicated donors that organize offsite fundraisers and other types of awareness campaigns.
RMHC Jax’s current system of managing the the 4000+ volunteers is in need of an upgrade. They are asking you as consultants to make recommendation for a Volunteer Management System that will allow them to more efficiently and effectively manage volunteers and meet their unique compliance and risk management needs. The outcome should provide an immediate benefit while minimizing development costs and using data to add user value over time.
Given the project goal and objectives, this challenge is best suited for students with a background in computer science.
