This interview with Heather Colletto, coordinator for Serve GR, explores the new website and online tool open for use to any individuals and organizations. Serve GR seeks to connect individuals to meaningful service projects in Grand Rapids, and thus promote effective and sustainable volunteerism. With a hyper-local focus on community, the tool includes features that show potential volunteers what it's like to work with various organizations as well as match volunteers' personality and passion to a project. Recognizing that service often requires relationship-building and an on-going time commitment, Heather hopes to play match-maker for individuals to the perfect volunteer opportunities.
