The team conducted a needs assessment for the mentor base of Voces Vitales Costa Rica (VVCR). This organization, focusing on ethical professionalism, inclusion, gender identity, and non-violent communication, plans to launch a platform connecting its 1,100 certified mentors with businesses and individuals to broaden their regional impact. Our study involved analyzing similar platforms, identifying user needs, and determining desired features for the proposed hub. We gathered insights through surveys, interviews, and focus groups, providing VVCR with a prioritized list of features and implementation strategies for a user-centric hub.
