Hands On Charlotte will not launch its new website next week, as planned. While we prepared on every possible front – from designing the site’s aesthetics to training key users – we are not confident that the volunteer-management system is capable of fully supporting our needs.
The HandsOn Network is responsible for developing this new volunteer-management system called HandsOn Connect. During a conference call on Tuesday, it came to light that the there is substantial work left to do before we are comfortable asking our volunteers to use the system. We expect considerable improvements by our re-launch date around the first of July.
Hands On Charlotte is well known for making volunteering an accessible and enjoyable experience. Moving to the new system next week would have put that reputation at risk. Our current website is excellent and will continue to meet our needs until July.
If you have any questions about the transition, please let us know. We still plan to have a party on Thursday, April 14 at BlackFinn in the Epicenter from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. As part of National Volunteer Week, we want take the opportunity to recognize our volunteers for everything they do.
Thank you for your continued commitment to public service through Hands On Charlotte
In service,
