About VIP

Capacity-building is essential for your nonprofit’s health. Unfortunately, many nonprofits are struggling to find a cost-effective way to manage their volunteer growth efforts as they transition from COVID-19 response to recovery.

OneOC’s Volunteer Infrastructure Program (VIP) offers a solution to nonprofits that wish to develop or enhance their existing organizational infrastructure and reduce resource limitations. OneOC will recruit a designated AmeriCorps Fellow who will manage the tasks of capacity-building and organizational sustainability.

Testimonial

An immediate impact of COVID-19 to our OC Food Bank was a loss of our regular corporate and community volunteers who were critical in assisting with packing 24,000 senior food boxes each month.  Needing to reach out and manage the overnight interest in individual volunteers willing to step in and assist with food packing, our AmeriCorps member was given the responsibility to activate and manage our online Volunteer Hub software platform that had been dormant. As a result, dozens of individuals have volunteered on multiple occasions and have become long-term volunteers at both The Giving Farm and OC Food Bank.
