Volunteer Program Launch for a BIPOC-focused social enterprise

La Connexional is a community focused social enterprise that is run by a team of dedicated individuals on a part-time basis. We have steadily grown over 4 years, from inaugurating Alberta's only Afro-Latin Festival to building a robust and resilient community through innovative events and workshops. We're currently formalizing our processes and developing new revenue streams in light of the COVID-19 pandemic with the goal of scaling La Connexional nationally and creating impactful employment opportunities.We are currently trying to develop a volunteer program to help execute more community-focused initiatives while providing people with professional development opportunities. Manually and individually executing onboarding tasks with each new volunteer is an inefficient use of our already scarce resources. We want to develop an online course that will introduce volunteers to their new roles, an overview of the company and our initiatives, and provide our HR personnel with standardized feedback and data about volunteers progress.We currently already have access to a few online training platforms we've used in the past such as:Krademy LMS, Spayee and GuruCan and would ideally like to use the same platforms since our team has a good idea of the later. This project can focus on:Creating a clear and concise La Connexional Volunteer Job DescriptionVolunteer Program Outline and principlesVolunteer program signup formsGathering relevant course design and content information .Screening new volunteers.Creating onboarding system for volunteersWe would like to automate our onboarding process for this high-turnover department and reduce the time spent by our small team on repetitive onboarding tasks. If this is completed within the time allotted, then further tasks may include, but are not limited to:Assisting in creating HR processes within the company that incorporate DEI principlesAssisting in organising existing company resources and transferring them to Notion
