Jaclyn Piatak

In 2019 Jaclyn reached out to us because she wanted to collaborate with a practitioner to study how volunteer management practices influence volunteer satisfaction. Several practitioners shared her goal and responded to her blurb in the r4i newsletter. Ultimately she co-designed two new research studies with two separate practitioners. The results were published here and here! Here’s what she shared about the initial experience being matched:

“One of my colleagues informed me about R4i as a resource to connect researchers with practitioners. I found the perfect organizations to work with that had overlapping interests, existing surveys to share, and mechanisms to share out my own survey. I could not have imagined the caliber of organizations interested in my project nor a better partnership. Thanks so much for this resource!”
