SJ Innovation Teams Up with IVolunteer International to Revive the IVolunteerNow Platform
SJ Innovation is thrilled to embark on an exciting new partnership with ‘IVolunteer International Inc’. Our vision? To breathe new life into the ‘IVolunteerNow’ app, a platform dedicated to connecting volunteers with community projects.
Why Joining Forces with IVolunteer International Matters?
It’s a noteworthy milestone. After all, in a world where community support and volunteering have become the need of the hour, the partnership between SJ Innovation LLC and IVolunteer International Inc. marks a crucial step towards enhancing volunteer engagement.
Revitalizing IVolunteerNow in the Pandemic Era
Originally conceived as the flagship project of IVolunteer International, the IVolunteerNow app was in its beta testing phase when the global COVID-19 pandemic hit, presenting unprecedented challenges worldwide. Recognizing the urgent need for an inclusive and accessible platform to link volunteers with opportunities, especially during a time of decreased in-person interactions, IVolunteer International embarked on the initiative to revamp IVolunteerNow.
The Collaboration: Transforming Vision into Reality
‘Nipuna Ambanpola’, Executive Director of ‘IVolunteer International’, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, "I wish we had designed and launched the app before the pandemic. Of course, no one could plan for a pandemic like that. But better late than never, so I’m excited to finally publish it to the world so that when someone wants to take action, they don’t have to feel helpless ever again."
Selecting the Ideal Partner: SJ Innovation
Responding to the evolving landscape and the growing emphasis on local and organic support, ‘IVolunteer International’ initiated a Request for Proposal in September 2023. Following a meticulous selection process, SJ Innovation, headquartered in New York City, secured the contract. SJ Innovation, known for leveraging technology for social impact, is poised to collaborate closely with IVolunteer International to deliver an enhanced and user-centric platform.
Project Commencement and Expectations
