End of service report By: Jonathan Sesman, Volunteer Coordinator

 No official way of tracking and screening volunteers.  No process of managing new volunteers.  Partner ministries did not have a way to market their opportunities

 Working with IT department on a system for mail merge marketing for our partner ministries.  Currently adding all our nationwide volunteer needs on ChristianVolunteering.org  Working with our city teams to implement a strategy to get partner ministries to add their volunteer needs.

 Web links to our website.  Starter packet for partner ministries  templates  Sample letters  Sample volunteer postings  Instructions on registration  Listings on various websites  Backlinks for NY.cv.org on NY websites  Conference calls with city directors HLIC regarding implementation of CV

 We plan to continue working with and training our city teams to market ChristianVolunteering.org as a valuable resource.  Adding UrbanMinistry.org and our Christiangrantsdirectory.org to our resource list.  Pursuing future volunteers for our Box of love and Bags outreaches.

 Online:  Craigslist.org  Backlinks to NY Cares and other sites   First to our City Teams then to our partner ministries  Mail  Letters sent out to our City teams explaining our resource and how they can use it.  Letters to our partner Ministries  Other  Cards to be handed out at conferences, fairs, Etc… detailing ChristianVolunteering.org

 The problem:  It takes 2 years for our city teams to adapt to change.  Many Partner ministries do not have computer access or have limited knowledge on web access.  No budget  Our partner Database is not fully working or updated.  The solution:  Continue to remind city teams to use ChristianVolunteering.org for their needs and show them additional benefits of using Techmission products such as Urbanministry.org and christiangrantsdirectory.org.  Set up a system to assist partner ministries with posting and screening for their volunteers. Possibly obtain volunteers for that particular need.  Attempt to work out a small marketing budget with HLIC to print out cards and flyers when needed for conferences conventions, etc…  Market Christian volunteering to everyone at all times.  Continue to work with IT department on correcting the database issues.

 Here’s Life Inner City is dedicated to providing their partner ministries with the best possible tools to equip their ministries.  Techmission strives to bridge the digital divide in the urban community  Together, HLIC and Techmission can accomplish the same goals while at the same time providing cutting edge service to Many Christian organizations.
