Meet Melina,
As part of her company’s community
outreach initiative, Melina volunteers her
time helping build and maintain a
community garden.

This is the landscape of volunteering:
Endless paperwork and analogue records.

But this is is the world Melina lives in.
Digital, Seamless, Social.

Three questions:
How do we make her volunteer
experience match the rest of Melina’s life?
How do we make Melina the ambassador
for the causes she cares about in her
communities?
How do we make it easy for the garden to
connect with and engage Melina and her
friends?

This is my story as well

So why is this so hard?

How do we meet Melina where
she is…
…while still addressing an
existing volunteer population
that isn’t nearly as mobile or
social?
