      Collaborated with the Building Impact team to design, coordinate and facilitate hands on volunteer projects to benefit local nonprofits partners working to solve critical social issues in the Greater Boston community. Through conversations with our nonprofit partners, we co-designed in office volunteering projects to bring to company offices to raise awareness about the organization and create a meaningful donation for the organization such as Literacy Packets for the Boston Public Schools. Through communication with a network of over 65 company ambassadors, I engaged companies in the area to increase their corporate social responsibility through Building Impact programming and worked to strategically recruit new Ambassadors. I also managed volunteer engagement data tracking, developed new partnerships, coordinated Corporate Days of Service and assisted with special projects such a Tech Gives Back and the MIT Leading with Impact program.
