VolunteerLocal - Simple, streamlined volunteer scheduling, registration and communication

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.

Our service was built with these principles in mind:

People volunteer for causes they care about.
Volunteers want the sign up process to be simple.
Communication is vital to a positive experience.

Happy Volunteering is more than just a clever tagline, it's our sole focus.

I like to make things easy. VolunteerLocal is a big part of this for me - I love how easy it is for volunteers to sign up and check their shifts, and I love how easy it is for me to see where I have holes and move people around during my event. (And how quickly Volunteer Local staff reply to my emails asking for help!) The easier things are, the happier my volunteers are.
- Elizabeth Orcutt, Volunteer Coordinator, Treefort Music Festival
