Description

The Volunteer Partnerships Impact Assessment (VPIA) Toolkit was developed by Emmaus Strategies LLP to assist social purpose entities (SPEs)^[1] in gaining a holistic picture of the impact that volunteer partnerships have on various stakeholders.

The VPIA Toolkit comprises of the VPIA Guidebook and the VPIA Worksheets.
