if your organization relies on volunteers you may qualify to launch your own 8-week pilot at no cost during the pilot phase.
This 8-week program is part of doctoral research at California Miramar University exploring how structured appreciation strengthens volunteer motivation and nonprofit impact.
Participation is voluntary and confidential. Findings reported only in aggregate form
Details about timing, expectations, and how the cohorts work—so you can join with confidence.
No. The entire experience is 100% online. As long as you have a stable internet connection and can join by video, you can participate from anywhere.
Plan for approximately 60 minutes of live online participation. Sessions are structured and focused so you can consistently participate without rearranging your schedule.
Your primary role is to participate in focused small-group discussions centered on mission impact and peer recognition.
Participants may also choose to contribute ideas, share updates, support events, or engage online — but additional activity is voluntary.
We’ll do our best to help you switch cohorts. However, participants are encouraged to remain with at least one cohort for the full eight-week cycle to maintain group continuity.
There is no cost for volunteers to participate. Your time and engagement are your contribution.
For nonprofit partners, there is no program fee during the pilot phase. In return for allowing anonymous, aggregate data collection as part of the research study, we will continue to support your organization after the study is complete.
