Who it's forFederations and networks

See volunteering across your whole network

In short

Hineni offers a network view for federations and congregational networks. A federation sees aggregate counts across its member organizations and no individual volunteer records. Each member organization keeps its own volunteers, consent and follow-up. One network agreement can bring Hineni to many organizations at once, which makes networks a natural channel.

What does a federation see in Hineni?

A federation or association sees totals across its member organizations and nothing that identifies a person. Individual records stay with the organization where the volunteer signed up, and that organization's lay leaders own the follow-up. This boundary keeps each congregation or agency in charge of its own members. It also lets a network report on volunteering across its community without collecting names.

How does one volunteer take part in several member organizations?

Hineni is designed so one person can volunteer with several organizations under a single identity. Consent, contact preferences and any screening status stay separate for each organization. A volunteer who has cleared screening with one organization chooses whether a second organization may see that status. Whether a Florida clearance can be reused across organizations also depends on the law and each organization's agreements, and counsel must confirm it first.

Why do networks adopt Hineni for their members?

A network can offer its members one shared approach to volunteer follow-up and screening. One agreement reaches many member organizations at once. As more organizations join, more volunteers carry a clearance they chose to share, which cuts down on repeat fingerprinting. That sharing works only where the law and each organization's agreements allow it, and each volunteer decides whether to share.
