Descriptions of our Client Impact training sessions:

Planning and Configuration
This two-part training session is designed for the primary administrator to learn how to set-up their account. Its focus is on the configurable options to meet the organization’s recruitment, scheduling, data collection, reporting, communication and engagement needs, as well as how to add and limit others as administrators in your account.

Connecting Volunteers with Clients
This training is designed for those administrators who are responsible for managing the pairing of volunteers and clients. It will focus on the strategies of connecting volunteers to clients, the administrative connection of profiles, and how to securely share information about your clients to your volunteers.

Reporting on Your Volunteer - Client Interactions
This training is designed for those administrators who are responsible for collecting and running reports related to interactions with your clients. It will focus on the different ways that information can be collected from volunteers and how to generate the applicable reports.

DOES CLIENT IMPACT WORK THE WAY I WANT IT TO?

We’ve put together over 25 minutes of demonstration video so that you can get a good sense of how Client Impact works. If you have any questions based on what you see, you can book some one-on-one time with Amy or Micah. They'll be happy to learn about what you’re trying to accomplish, answer your questions and generally help you with whatever you need.

If what you see in the demonstration videos suggests Client Impact is a good fit for your organization, you can give the software a try with a free 30 day trial.
