Willamalane Park and Recreation District triples volunteer sign-ups and saves $1M with Get Connected by Galaxy Digital

The Willamalane Park and Recreation District, a nonprofit serving Springfield, Oregon, was struggling with a manual, paper-based volunteer management system. This led to limited accessibility for potential volunteers, slow response times, lost paperwork, and an inability to track volunteer interest effectively. To address these challenges, Willamalane chose to implement the Get Connected volunteer technology platform by Galaxy Digital.

By partnering with Galaxy Digital and using Get Connected, Willamalane streamlined its entire volunteer lifecycle. The solution provided easier recruitment through extended reach and personalized notifications, more efficient management with automated hour tracking and self-signup, and improved engagement via impact measurement tools. As a result, Willamalane tripled its volunteer pool from 150 to over 550 individuals and saved an estimated $1 million through volunteer support.
