For years, Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) have accessed all Volunteer-serving applications separately: separate URLs, separate login credentials, etc. The redundancy in processes and the inefficiency in system management and resourcing has resulted in a complex and difficult-to-use ecosystem of disparate software applications. Both staff at PC/Washington and in the field have struggled to create a seamless user experience for Volunteers throughout the entire Volunteer lifecycle (from application to returning from service). Moreover, Volunteers have long complained about the lack of clear instructions regarding access, purpose, and technical support for each system. The proposed project addresses these issues.
The objectives of this effort are:
• To create a secure, unified portal for Volunteer-serving applications
• To enable non-staff access (such as Invitees, Trainees, sworn-in Volunteers, and RPCVs) to Volunteer-serving applications through an externally-published web-based portal, and responsive user interface design for mobile devices and tablets.
• To leverage an identity and access management mechanism for Invitees, Trainees, sworn-in Volunteers, and RPCVs.
