Vital Organizational Development Assistants

V.O.D.A.s

What's on Your Backburner?

You’re working non-stop with a to-do list that never ends.

You’re working with a busy team – no one has time.

You WANT to grow, but lacking the capacity to get over these next few humps of work.

You know you need help…

But the thought of hiring, training, and supervising someone sounds exhausting – and you’re worried it’ll cost more in time and money than it will save…

Still… you want more clients and sustainable revenue…

You want the ability to work within your zone instead of wasting time on tasks or administrative project you don’t enjoy, but “have to do.”

Imagine you get to....

Delegate confidently without having to recruit, train, supervise, or worry about any of the admin hassles of an intern.

Focus only on the work that brings you joy and let someone else handle the “have-to-dos.”

Have more time in your day for your work, organizational development projects are checked off your list, without the crazy long days.

Vital Organizational Development Assistants (VODAs) connect agencies with talented, hard-working interns trained in management, leadership, and the social sector, giving you the support you need to make your greatest impact.
