Jeff Dyrek - USA Triathlon

Volunteers are the backbone of our national events, and VolunteerLocal’s system allows us to easily manage a large volunteer force. Partnering with VolunteerLocal enhances the lines of communication between volunteers and the USAT staff well in advance of an event.

Sheila Laing - Hy-Vee Triathlon, a WorldCup and International Triathlon Union event

We have utilized VolunteerLocal for several years; first when hosting Senior LPG event and for the past three years the Hy-Vee Triathlon, a WorldCup and International Triathlon Union event. As the volunteer committee chair I could not have done what needed to be done without the technology and support that is VolunteerLocal. The site can be as simple or as complicated as it needs to be; it is very flexible. From multi day events to three week timelines; from single venue sites to miles of routes.

Our volunteers find the site user friendly, easy to navigate regarding both sign up and information gathering. I find the site easy to manage and that it gives me the flexibility to make changes, garner reports, check in volunteers, move around volunteers etc. Last year we had nearly 1200 volunteers over three weeks, all managed by the site and with the support of Brian and his staff.

Al Lorenzen - 2009 AAU Junior Olympic Games

VolunteerLocal was an invaluable tool in our event preparation and execution. The ability to manage our volunteers online made the process user-friendly for the volunteers and our staff. VolunteerLocal also made communication with over 800 volunteers at multiple locations simple, allowing us to adjust on the fly when needed. There is not a better volunteer management tool for the money.
