Making a center, workspace and activity safe, clean and welcoming

It's imperative that all centers, programs and initiatives must have procedures and ongoing tasks in place to protect the health and safety of volunteers, donors, clients and members of the community. Coordinators and admins who are prepared can publish or list opportunities for virtual experiences or the COVID-19 option here.

Wipe Down Center
It is uncertain how long coronavirus can last on surfaces (for this and other information, see the WHO FAQs: https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses). In order to prevent the spread of coronavirus for those in your center, wipe it down with alcohol-based disinfectants both before and after it is in use. If you are using a tablet for volunteer check-in, make sure to sanitize it regularly. If volunteers or employees are using shared computers or tools, make sure they wash their hands regularly, use hand sanitizer, and wipe down their stations before and after use as well.
Tools & Supplies Clean-up
It is also recommended the organization ensures all tools (laptops, tablets, phones, supplies and stationary) be wiped or cleaned per usage or activity. At the same time, individuals and groups who are committed to a program or activity should double check their workspace and tools are cleaned to protect their own safety and health.
Provide Disinfectant Wipes and Hand Sanitizing Solutions
Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are almost as effective as hand-washing (although we always recommend that volunteers, employees, and clients wash their hands for at least 20 seconds as often as possible). Provide this to anyone engaging in your organization’s space to avoid transmission of the virus. In addition, provide disinfectant wipes so that any droplets containing the virus can be removed before individuals touch surfaces.

Subgroups & Individuals

Subgroups and individuals can create and oversee their own profiles to track, review and run their own impact reports

Organize
Subgroups can be groups of people, programs, departments, chapters or categories. Subgrouping allows you to create a separate portal for individuals and members to join as unique stakeholders over a specific project or initiative.
Hierarchy
Whether you use subgroups as a way to create unique pages for members or as a way to organize people, our hierarchy management allows you to show the connections, links and partnerships within your whole network.
Reporting
Since each subgroup can be tied to a hierarchy or be independent, administrators or managers of the group have abilities to do their own reporting or allow you to collectively pull all the data in the hierarchy together
