I Won’t Lie.
It’s been a challenge lately.

But, you can turn the corner, starting now …

Many nonprofits have suffered budget reductions, staffing, cuts, and have been unable to re-build capacity to pre-COVID levels.

But your mission is as critical as ever. And, volunteers STILL want to help. 

Don’t let doubt or overwhelm stop you from making the pivots you know you need to make. Join me and my special guests, and we’ll show you where to start.

After over 20 years in the nonprofit trenches, and coaching thousands of students and hundreds of organizations, I’ve discovered the exact ingredients that differentiate wildly successful volunteer programs from those that scramble to keep up.

Now is the time to reignite passion and build momentum for a better future. 

Join us at Volapalooza to SPARK your imagination and have a little FUN!
