We're looking for a volunteer that is already proficient in working with Better Impact Volunteer Tracking Software. We use the software daily for what we know. We want a volunteer that has worked with the software is is aware of the other capabilities and uses. We are unable to train on the software because we don't know the programs potential uses. Without experience in using the software it would take a lot of time for someone to get up to speed. Currently potential volunteers complete an online application, receive an automated welcome email that drives them to an orientation video and job specific training modules. Volunteers can view the volunteer opportunities, available shifts, sign up, and log completed hours. Most of the processes have been in place for a long time so a "fresh look" could reveal enhancements to better our volunteer experience. More how to videos would be helpful Better updates and appreciation messages to the volunteers Things we might not know so we don't know what to ask I am eager to hear your experience and ideas.

People in Recovery From Addictive Behavior Need Your Time & Energy to Succeed.
with SMART RecoveryThe best journeys in life aren’t where you find yourself - they’re where you find other people . Scientific evidence shows that discussion groups work in recovery. This support has become increasingly important throughout the pandemic as a way for participants to connect themselves and their experiences with others and the greater world. If you have approximately 1.5 hours a week to volunteer, you could facilitate a group via Zoom to help support participants in changing how they think about their experiences and also in what they would like to change for their futures. As the weekly meetings are held via Zoom, this opportunity is not geographically-limited although most of the participants are based in the San Diego area. These weekly groups offer dynamic conversational opportunities for group participants to share suggestions for what personal experience has shown to be successful and also for challenges and struggles individuals are experiencing. The participants help one another. Your responsibility is to keep the meeting on track using a tested process we have developed and by following some simple guided discussion scripts we will provide. We have a free, thorough training process defined and will provide a mentor to work one-on-one with you to guide you through the process. We will also help you find substitutes if you need to miss a meeting. If you would like to help others build positive relationships, better habits, greater capacity to cope with behaviors they wish to change, and lead more balanced, productive, and meaningful lives, this is the opportunity for you. YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE ADDICTIVE OR MALADAPTIVE RECOVERY BEHAVIOR EXPERIENCE YOURSELF. To learn more about the opportunity and receive more information on the free training and one-on-one mentoring, please email: training@smartrecoverysd.org More information about San Diego SMART is also available on our website: smartrecoverysd.org If you care about people and connections, you will not find a more meaningful and rewarding experience than volunteering with SMART Recovery. SMART Recovery is a community devoted to helping individuals learn about and practice a self-empowering approach for stopping problematic addictive behavior. SMART Recovery offers a science-based, non-step philosophy that provides tools and strategies for individuals under the umbrella of four main points: Building & Maintaining Motivation; Coping with Urges & Cravings; Managing Thoughts, Feelings & Behaviors; and Building A Balanced Life. Our motto is "Discover the Power of Choice". We welcome your participation in our community.
