Schedule Volunteers

Scheduling volunteers in VolunteerLocal is tie-your-shoes easy. While our software is flexible in process and presentation, some common ways our software is used include:

  • Self-scheduling: volunteers select jobs and shifts at the time of registration
  • Self-scheduling, after approval: volunteers complete an application, pass an approval process, and then select jobs and shifts
  • Administrative scheduling: volunteers complete an application and administrators place volunteers as they see fit
  • Administrative scheduling (imports): mass import your volunteers from a CSV file

 

Self-scheduling options
VolunteerLocal provides list-views and calendar-grid views to accommodate your needs. We also offer settings such as minimum/maximum shift selection to accommodate your requirements.

VolunteerLocal offers two methods for volunteers to sign up.

  • Application style: implement an application process complete with approved/denied status capabilities and qualifications to put the right volunteer in the right task
  • Sign-up Page style: single-page signup for quick shift selection - no username or password required!

  1. Simple job and shift creation
  2. Password protect jobs or shifts
  3. Add detailed job descriptions
  4. Upload files to jobs - parking passes, course maps, etc.
  5. Assign locations to shifts

We used to coordinate all 240 volunteer shifts for the Iowa Craft Beer tent using a giant excel spreadsheet with hundreds of blacked-out and empty cells--we called it 'the Soduku Puzzle.' I also had a PDF document that I manually updated every three hours. It was a nightmare. Plus we were left with about 70 extra t-shirts after our first appearance at the State Fair because we didn't have an efficient way to record that information. VolunteerLocal has really improved the registration process for us. Our VolunteerLocal page went live at 8:00am on May 1st. In one hour, 140 spots were gone. After one day, I think there were only 18 spots left. Probably saved me about 100 hours of labor and I was able to customize my registration page to collect information on t-shirt sizes and colors. It was great. No leftover t-shirts, no Soduku Puzzles.
