Overall, the orientation itself was good and I appreciated the opportunity to actually work alongside a volunteer and walk a dog.

However, I think that the Volunteer Coordinators should spend some more time discussing the GivePulse platform and providing an overview of how to make the most of it--its basic functions, features, finding the documents you need to get started, etc. I would've appreciated being better prepared for the amount of communication I would be receiving via GivePulse. It's honestly very overwhelming for me and I feel that I am getting lost in what is the priority for me as a new volunteer. I feel it would be beneficial to dedicate some time to showing folks what it looks like and how it works since the volunteer program significantly relies on the platform to be successful.
