Bridging the gap
NGOs like Teach for India depend on volunteers to drive a lot of their ground and strategy work. Volunteers can join an NGO to simply support a campaign for social good like cleanliness drive, or they can join an NGO for a longer duration to contribute to more strategic roles via their professional skills. For example, professionals like accountants and data scientists frequently volunteer at NGOs to help them improve their accounting and data management systems. Similarly, designers, teachers, writers etc can all contribute to an NGO’s work. For a big NGO like TFI, it is important to keep track of the various volunteers who have worked with it or have expressed interest in contributing to its work. The challenge is to maintain this database in a manner that is automated and efficient. The database should integrate well with methods of data collection about volunteer information and it should serve the purpose of teams who need to access this data regularly.
