Tech Systems Review

Project details

What we need
  • An assessment of Organization's IT infrastructure including costs, speed, reliability and security
  • Advice on various IT services and the cost-benefit associated with each option
  • Potentially more efficient and secure services
  • Note: This does not include tech systems set up or implementation
What we have in place
  • We currently have a project volunteer, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have all documentation of development to date, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $8,001 , allowing us to support 300 interns serving social causes globally by 2018.

Converge is a searchable registry of internship opportunities, a missional learning course, and a social fundraising platform built with Ruby on Rails site connected to our Salesforce instance. Students edit their Profile Page and view donations to their internship. We need to test and review the donation system API calls to/from Salesforce and Rails site.

Our mission

We are a University Ministries Circle of YWAM International with a staff team of certified coordinators on five continents, hundreds of trained YWAM campus ministries staff, host partners, and volunteers.

Vision: To recapture the purpose of the university and proclaim the Gospel in every nation through every vocation.

Mission: To mobilize university students for the next and final wave of Global Missions and to foster student-led missions to and through every sphere of influence.

What we do

We cannot know God's calling until we know our story, especially the parts that hinder us. Jesus is calling us to engage our stories so we can engage our world.

We are developing missions-minded leaders for every sphere of influence. We facilitate opportunities for students to learn how to make a difference. Our target students are from ANYWHERE; they are ready to go into ALL the world, including EVERY area of influence. (Mt. 28:18-20).

Since 1989, we have coordinated internships for hundreds of students from over one hundred universities to nearly 50 countries to help start businesses and plant churches, install water pumps, establish therapy routines for disabled, perform research in clinics, develop nutritional plans for hospices, and create curriculum for schools. With Converge platform, we are preparing to connect, equip, and send over 300 interns per year.
