Board Member Non-Profit Organization Management Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/21/2019 "Not the most user friendly tool" 2/5 What do you like best about HandsOn Connect?

Community Impact Associate Non-Profit Organization Management Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/25/2017 "HandsOn Connect Review" 2.5/5 What do you like best about HandsOn Connect? I like the ability to quickly run reports and see who is signed up for opportunities. I also like the ability to limit the number of people who can sign up for an opportunity.
