With a mission to end the cycle of homelessness one child at a time, Project Hope Alliance relies upon volunteers to support their charges with tutoring and school support.
We assembled a team of four instructional designers looking for an opportunity to add a project to their work portfolio. As a team, we interviewed PHA's CEO and the Program and Outreach Coordinator to identify the key goals of the organization.
Interview findings determined that PHA volunteers would benefit from an understanding of what homelessness is, and how it impacts the children surviving through these conditions.
We focused on a two-step onboarding program. The first step was a web page to draw interest in working with homeless children. On that page, potential volunteers would complete a form expressing interest in volunteering for the organization. Upon receiving the completed form, the volunteer recruiter would then send a link to the eLearning module — Working With Homeless Children. Once they complete the module, the volunteer recruiter would schedule a follow-up meeting with the goal of starting all new volunteers with the same understanding of the job requirements.

Partnering with OneOC, the ATD Orange County Training and Technology team analyzed, designed, and developed a Captivate-authored eLearning program for OneOC's new client organizations. Coached group participants through all stages of the design.

We used the flipped learning format to explore flipped learning! Attendees were given two articles and a video about flipped learning to review before the session. During the session, participants reviewed ATD National instructional material and discussed how to adapt those programs into a flipped learning format.
As organizations navigated the changes necessary to ncontinue their L&D initiatives during the COVID lockdowns, ATD Orange County strategized ways to support a remote membership.
Virtual Happy Hours were designed to be a fun way to familiarize facilitators with Zoom and the art of VILT facilitation.
In this session, we used rebuses to play in Zoom and become familiar with annotation tools, breakout rooms, and whiteboards. We discussed how puzzles, used with intention, can support our course's learning objectives.
