Mission: St. Louis serves as an umbrella agency with the federal AmeriCorps agency, streamlining the application process for VISTAs seeking to develop lasting solutions to the problems of poverty across Missouri. Instead of managing an entire federal grant, Mission: St. Louis host sites are provided with technical assistance to manage their projects and benefit from a streamlined reporting process.
After finding that using Google Sheets to track VISTAs’ hours was distracting key staff from mission-focused efforts, the organization adopted the Impact Suite’s timesheet module for its VISTA program.
Below, you’ll find a video we just received from Danielle Nygard — the organization’s AmeriCorps Services Manager — about their transition from Google Sheets to the Impact Suite. If your national serivce program’s timesheet process is pulling staff away from mission-focused efforts, contact us to learn how we may be able to help you redirect that time into more fullfilling work — both for the organization and for staff at a personal level.
