We love building VolunteerLocal for you.

VolunteerLocal has been empowering athletic competitions, art festivals, music festivals, non-profit organizations and many other events all over the world since 2003. Born out of a need identified by Des Moines Arts Festival, our web-based software has proven to be a key component in managing the volunteer force that is so vital to events that range from Duck Derby Fundraisers to the World Masters Athletics Championships.

VolunteerLocal is proudly based in Des Moines, Iowa. Our software works anywhere you can access the Internet.
Happy Volunteering!

Our service was built with these principles in mind:


Happy Volunteering is more than just a clever tagline, it's our sole focus.
VolunteerLocal has enabled us to recruit volunteers and organize them into shifts on a much more streamlined basis. Normally I would have to exchange several emails including confirmations prior to the event. Thanks to VolunteerLocal, this is done automatically, allowing my time to be spent doing other very useful things to help Iowa's children. I would highly recommend VolunteerLocal. Not only are they non-profit friendly, they are very organized and helpful.
