As the days grow colder and shorter, there is a feeling that summer is fleeting. When we look back on our summer at re:Bloom, we celebrate the incredible group of volunteers and small businesses that spent their summer building their online presence with the re:Bloom program!
The re:Bloom program would not be possible without our team of volunteers. The Summer 2023 businesses had 15 volunteers from 5 different organizations working on their web presence. The volunteers worked on teams of 3 to consult directly with clients and provide a tailored experience that helped small business owners develop their branding, grow their digital presence, and learn how to maintain their tech independently. Throughout the program, volunteers spent an average of 10 hours per week doing research, developing and designing, user testing, and providing final training documentation. If you’re interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities, please visit our volunteer webpage.
We are excited to share the small businesses that completed that 10-week program and to share their updated websites!
