Client Testimonials
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County (BBBS OC) partnered with 180DC-UC Irvine to address a shortage of volunteer mentors (Bigs) for the youth in their program (Littles). Our team conducted a market analysis of BBBS OC's recruitment strategy and developed a tailored framework to optimize outreach and resource use. This strategy led to the successful recruitment of 375 new Bigs, enabling BBBS OC to better serve the youth in their program.
“The most valuable part about this project was that the team at 180 Degrees demonstrated an "out-of-the-box" thinking regarding solutions to our problem. The team was cognizant of our budget at all times and provided robust recommendations accordingly. This will ensure the implementation of their recommendations from our side and we definitely would love to pursue another project with them.”
