Radiant Health Centers is pleased to announce that it has been certified as a Service Enterprise by Points of Light, the world’s largest organization dedicated to volunteer service. Organizations that certify join the top 11 percent of nonprofits nationwide in volunteer management and organizational performance.
Certification signifies that organizations have the capability and management expertise to strategically use volunteers to improve the performance of their organization.
“The seal of achievement for Service Enterprise has empowered our growing organization to even more efficiently engage volunteers in all areas of client support and services,” said Guita Sharifi, chief financial officer at Radiant Health Centers. “We are very proud of this achievement because a Service Enterprise certification is a very prestigious accomplishment for an organization.”
Radiant Health Centers completed an extensive assessment, over 20 hours of training and coaching, and an extensive internal planning and change process to better integrate volunteers into its human capital strategy. By achieving this level of excellence and certification, Radiant Health Centers is now even better equipped to leverage the time and talent of volunteers to meet its mission.
“Becoming a Service Enterprise has revitalized our volunteer program and better prepared us for the organization-wide expansion to our increased client services and programs,” said Tammy Nguyen, Volunteer Coordinator at Radiant Health Centers. “We received the much-appreciated guidance to reflect on our volunteer program and make the improvements necessary to evolve and improve our program.”
