Nonprofits hire me to build trust, create impact, and inspire belonging. 

Are you a nonprofit leader of an established organization who…

  • Feels like you're gambling with the ripple effects of a disengaged community? 

  • Struggles with volunteer recruitment and retention? 

  • Wishes you weren't stuck in dated and transactional engagement routines? 

  • Worries about how important relationships, reputation, and revenue are being affected by all of it? 

 

Your team is doing their best but these things still happen…

  • The Development Team finds out through conversations that important donors are current or past volunteers. Without documentation of this information in the donor database, they miss giving opportunities! 

  • Long-term volunteers complain or leave because they feel annoyed and unseen when they try to explore new roles because they're given the same screening, treatment, and training as brand new people. 

  • People with Lived Experience feel tokenized or exploited when they’re asked to volunteer in roles that require sharing trauma and reliving difficult experiences. 

  • Employees are freaking out when they realize they’ve neglected to consult one another before scheduling overlapping meetings and events that involve the same volunteers. 

HI, I'M JESSICA

I'm an award-winning volunteer engagement professional who has led strategic transformations at some of Canada’s largest nonprofits and dozens of grassroots groups. I hold the CVA credential, am Trauma of Money Certified™, and teach a Volunteer Management course at Fleming College. I am an expert in creating meaningful roles, processes, and environments where interest holders feel seen and included.

How I can help:

Step 1) Apply for a Strategic Consultation.

Step 2) We discuss your organization's situation.

Step 3) You begin building trust and community inside your organization through ethical volunteerism, which (I promise) will help you sleep better at night.

"Jessica's passion and enthusiasm for volunteer management made an impression on me from the first time I met her at a conference. I am so excited that I've finally had the opportunity to work with her on some consulting projects. It has been incredible to see her in action! With her help, we are going to take strategic steps to improve the experience of our animal fosters and grow the program."

The latest from my blog

Jessica operates Learn with JPP Consulting in Toronto, on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. She recognizes this land as being home and traditional territory to other Indigenous people since time immemorial. 

Jessica is grateful to have the privilege to work on this land. She calls for the reconciliation of current injustices as well as those that have been carried out against Indigenous communities which include but are not limited to broken treaty relationships. 

Jessica encourages you to learn more about the traditional territories of the Indigenous Peoples where you live, work, and play using tools like native-land.ca.
