Case Study: Miami Valley Young Marines achieves streamlined, timely communication with OnSolve One Call Now

Youth Leadership Group Stays in Step with One Call Now Messaging App

Miami Valley Young Marines, the Dayton, Ohio unit of the national Young Marines program, teaches boys and girls (ages 8 through high school) leadership, teamwork and drug-free living while running a packed calendar of community service, trainings, drills and camping. Keeping members and parents informed was labor-intensive and unreliable—the group relied on a slow phone tree that often missed people and generated repeated follow-up calls.

At a volunteer leader’s recommendation they adopted the One Call Now messaging app and have used it for 12 years to send voice, email and text messages (including a weekly mini‑newsletter) and targeted subgroup alerts, each with a link to the events calendar. The result: timely, reliable communication, fewer parent inquiries, happier families, and easier, more focused outreach (including giving youth leaders messaging responsibilities).
