The Coalition for Canadian Policing Reform (C-CPR), a non-profit charity seeks to enhance its volunteer program to better align with its mission of establishing a Canadian National Centre of Police Excellence. The current volunteer system requires a review to identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement. The goal is to design a leading and best practice volunteer program that efficiently and effectively utilizes resources while adhering to the organization's values and goals. This project will involve researching best practices in volunteer management, analyzing the existing system, and proposing a new framework that optimizes a full spectrum of volunteer program elements. The project will provide learners with an opportunity to apply their knowledge of project management, organizational behavior, and strategic planning to a real-world scenario.

The project deliverables will include a comprehensive report detailing the research on leading and best practice volunteer programs, an analysis of the current volunteer system, a proposed optimized volunteer program framework, and a presentation summarizing key findings and recommendations

Additionally, a set of guidelines for implementing the new volunteer system will be provided. These guidelines/recommendations should include program evaluation and metrics.

These deliverables will ensure that the C-CPR can effectively align its volunteer resources with its organizational mission.

Optimum project outcomes and deliverables would be achieved based on the C-CPR, Request for Grant MacEwan University student human resources course-based Project document submitted for program consideration.
