Participate in this timely and important survey of nonprofits in the Greater New Haven Survey.
Note - the survey will respond at different points depending on how you respond. We ask nonprofits to respond as accurately as possible - while using reasonable estimates when pragmatic.​
Early in the group's discussions, communication and foundational community guidelines were established.
​
Becoming involved as a volunteer requires information such as:​
-
What opportunities are available?
-
Who's involved? (org and people).
-
How do I apply/sign up?
-
How do I learn more?
In order to address community needs - it's useful to unpack the very nature of volunteer opportunities.
-
What is a volunteer opportunity?
-
Are all Vol. opportunities comparable?
These may seem like overly simple questions. However, exploration reveals important considerations for advancing equity, access, and community resilience.
​​
We aim to:
-
Advance resilience for local nonprofits.
-
Develop innovative programs.
-
Establish VEG-GNH as a central hub for volunteer engagement.
​
Explore the results of the founding survey. Responses reflect a range of perspectives along with a common interest in supporting the wellbeing of our community.
