- Prior to the project getting underway, a project scope of work document is developed that defines the goals, process and outcomes as well as the roles and responsibilities. This may be developed by the nonprofit, or by us, in collaboration with the volunteer.

- Upon project completion, exit interviews will be conducted with the volunteer and the agency.
