Introduction

Why VRMS?

VRMS (Volunteer Relationship Management System) is a browser-based software tool created by Hack for LA (HfLA) to offer curated management and matching of project and volunteer experiences. VRMS will further volunteer software development organizations' goals of creating pro-social software and developing the tech sector workforce, doing so by collecting and using relevant data to automate repetitive tasks, enable self-service profile management, match volunteers with projects, identify professional development opportunities, and surface insights to improve organizational effectiveness.
