The main goal of this project is to optimize ODLAN's onboarding process for new volunteers. This is part one of a two-part project. Part one involves creating a system that will walk volunteering through an onboarding process that familiarizes them with ODLAN's mission, mandate, and current project. Phase two focuses on optimizing volunteer participation, by creating a process for volunteers to register for ODLAN teams and projects within those teams.
