30,000 college students,
minutes from your grounds.

What was once seasonal is now a year-round need. Servers, bartenders, and dishwashers are consistently hard to fill across concerts, weddings, private events, and daily cafe and concession operations - and the team is still thinking in headcount when the real question is hours.

Post shifts by the hours needed - fixed times for events, flexible windows for operations. Stunio matches verified students by availability, location, and interest, confirms food-handling and alcohol-service credentials before anyone can accept, and handles check-in, verification, and payment. You see who showed up, how they performed, and who you want back.

A 60-day pilot: staff three events, or one recurring need such as weekend concessions. Fixed scope, one department, one supervisor as point of contact.

Stunio becomes the standing bench across the calendar: event surges, weekly shifts, and a growing pool of returning students your managers already know and rate. Hours-based posting replaces headcount guessing.

• Fill rate and time-to-fill on posted shifts
• Show rate and supervisor ratings
• Repeat rate: students coming back for more shifts

• One supervisor as pilot point of contact
• Three target events or one recurring need, with dates
• Credential requirements confirmed per role

About 650 volunteers call Meijer Gardens home, with an average age of 69. Volunteering is becoming episodic rather than long-term, scheduling still runs on phone calls and disparate spreadsheets, and there is no pipeline of younger volunteers who might boomerang back later in life.

Volunteer opportunities post like any other role - unpaid, episodic, sized to the day or the event. Students see them in the app and accept in one tap; existing volunteers onboard into the same system so scheduling, reminders, and check-in happen in one place instead of by phone. One view of everyone: students, current volunteers, and hours.

A 60-day pilot in one program area: post episodic volunteer opportunities to area students and onboard a starter group of current volunteers for scheduling through the platform.

All volunteer scheduling runs through one system - student volunteers flowing in each semester, episodic sign-ups filling gaps, and phone-call scheduling retired.

• Volunteer hours scheduled through the platform vs. by phone
• New student volunteers recruited during the pilot
• Administrative time saved by the volunteer team

• One program area, chosen by your volunteer team
• A starter group of current volunteers willing to schedule through the app
• A point person from volunteer services

Everybody who touches the guest, from arrival to departure, is an opportunity area. Peak days, exhibitions, and the concert series create guest-facing staffing needs that rise and fall faster than traditional hiring can follow.

Guest relations shifts post with flexible windows sized to visitation - weekends, peak season, exhibition openings. Students who have already worked at Meijer Gardens and rated well get matched first, so guest-facing roles skew toward people who already know the institution.

A 30–60 day pilot covering weekend or peak-day guest services shifts in one venue area - admissions, wayfinding, or event guest support.

A standing pool of returning students who know the grounds and the guest experience, deployed dynamically as visitation demands, with ratings deciding who comes back.

• Shifts filled on peak days vs. prior approach
• Supervisor ratings on guest-facing readiness
• Share of shifts filled by returning students

• One venue area and a set of peak dates to pilot
• A guest services lead as point of contact
• A short orientation outline for guest-facing standards

Gardeners and outdoor crew work year-round and do not need to be plant experts to contribute. There is a natural connection to students who want to work outside - and over time, to degree programs at area colleges for those who want horticulture as a career.

Grounds and gardening roles post as recurring shifts or defined projects - spring plantings, seasonal changeovers, event grounds prep. The platform surfaces students who selected outdoor and hands-on work as interests. Students who keep coming back become known quantities your horticulture team can develop.

Pilot one seasonal push: a defined grounds project or a set of recurring weekly shifts with five to ten students over 60 days.

A rolling bench for grounds work across all seasons, plus a deliberate track with partner colleges to route horticulture-interested students toward deeper engagements with your team.

• Fill rate on grounds shifts and projects
• Repeat rate across the season
• Students expressing interest in longer-term horticulture engagements

• One seasonal project or recurring shift set, with dates
• A grounds supervisor as point of contact
• Basic onsite orientation and equipment guidance

Summer camps and educational programming pull in teachers who are off for the summer and do not want full-time work, alongside a broader need for reliable, episodic educators season after season.

Camp and program educator roles post ahead of the season with defined dates. Education-interested students see them alongside your returning educators; the platform holds both groups in one place so scheduling and verification work the same way for each. Background checks are confirmed before anyone accepts.

Pilot next program season: post a defined set of camp educator and program assistant roles ahead of time and fill them through the platform.

Season-over-season educator staffing in one system: returning teachers, education majors building classroom-adjacent experience, and a bench that is already vetted when planning starts each year.

• Educator and assistant roles filled ahead of season start
• Returning educator retention season over season
• Education-major students entering the pipeline

• Next season's program calendar and role list
• An education programming lead as point of contact
• Screening requirements confirmed per role
