Remote or Hybrid Work Team Strategy
Project details
What we need
- A 1-2 page written document that summarizes the Organization’s needs and goals for effective remote/hybrid work
- Best practices and tips for the Organization’s remote staff members, including recommendations on the best virtual collaboration tools, such as Slack, Google apps, Zoom, etc.
- Recommendations for managing projects with remote/hybrid staff, including how to set up a digital workspace for easy collaboration, and how to establish communication styles and structures that support effective teamwork
Additional details
I manage a cohort of AmeriCorps members, who are often called members of "the domestic Peace Corps." These members serve nonprofits who are dedicated to alleviating poverty and promoting housing for all. The members are also geographically spread out which is making it difficult to create a team feeling. Will you help to foster a team feeling among these members, who are dedicating a year of their lives to serving their communities?
What we have in place
- We currently have experience managing remote teams of paid staff, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a staff member who is dedicating time to this project, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,776 , allowing us to strengthen even more nonprofits throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond!
This project will strengthen the cohort of AmeriCorps members who are young professionals that are building the capacity of nonprofits in the San Francisco Bay Area. This project will enable our organization to create better experiences for these AmeriCorps members and for their managers.

Our mission
We advance nonprofits and volunteerism by strengthening leadership, encouraging innovation and empowering individuals in our community.
What we do
Since 1964, the national award-winning Center for Volunteer & Nonprofit Leadership (CVNL) has advanced nonprofits and volunteerism by strengthening leadership, encouraging innovation, and empowering individuals throughout the Bay Area. Passion alone isn't enough when it comes to creating strong nonprofits. That's why we work with aspiring and established leaders every day to help them build the skills and connections that can take their impact to the next level. CVNL offers comprehensive programs including training, executive search, customized consulting solutions, and volunteer opportunities and programs for nonprofits, individuals, families, groups, and businesses. Our Heart of Marin(tm) and Heart of Napa(tm) events support nonprofits of every size and mission through recognition and cash awards. CVNL provides disaster preparedness training and serves as an Emergency Volunteer Center (EVC), overseeing spontaneous volunteers and donations for Napa and Marin Counties in the aftermath of a disaster. We believe that with confident and prepared leaders, our nonprofits will be better equipped to create healthy, happy communities.
Testimonials
Arun helped me solve a big challenge: Managing staff effectively across 4 counties when we do not meet often in person and call/email each other so often it interferes our daily work. Arun listened to me talk about these issues, reviewed some plans I had in the works, and then recommended two clear strategies to address the issues. I've implemented both strategies and now my remote team works incredibly well together, our interactions are more productive, and it didn't cost me anything to implement! Thank you Arun, you're awesome. I'm so grateful we were matched on Catchafire.
