    Historical Ratings
    Charity Navigator's ratings previously did not consider Leadership & Adaptability, Culture & Community, or Impact & Measurement. The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page.
    Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!

    The COVID-19 pandemic was one of the most challenging times for the organization, testing our adaptability and resilience during crises. The safety of our team and volunteers it of upmost importance. At the onset of the pandemic, we immediately halted our local and international field outreach for the safety of all. We continued to effectively communicate regularly to our resource team, volunteers, donors, and partners on how we were managing the COVID crises, the impact on our programs, the financial implications, and further updates of the way forward. U-VOL’s Leadership and Resource Team evaluated several potential scenarios to manage the impact to revenue and acted to protect the long-term viability of the organization. We devised a plan to safely return to field work in 2021, extensively educating our team, increasing PPE stock, and updated our volunteer orientations, trainings and information packets before our successful return to the field.
