Walden Change Action Network (WeCAN) User Guide

The Walden Change Action Network (WeCAN) is our university-wide platform that is currently, primarily used a volunteer management system for Global Days of Service. However, it has additional uses to empower our community to build cause-based interest groups, social change projects, and more.

WeCAN allows us to track our collective impact made and build a community around our annual month-long call to action for service, Global Days of Service. Review the below for information about how to use this platform.

For more detailed tutorials, tech support, and information go to GivePulse Support.
