Editor's Notes
- This tool solves a giant problem. Interface is easy to use; saving time and increasing parent participation in doing good versus spending time signing up. We know our moms volunteer in an average of three places: their schools, their sports teams and their faith groups. We bridge the online conversation with offline action. We catch moms while their in a “do good” state of mind and they love to engage with our sponsors who do good- and if you have a program that also supports their schools and communities, they think that’s pretty cool as well.
