Communicate Seamlessly
Communicate Seamlessly With Email and SMS

The data is out: the more frequently (and simply) you communicate job details and shift times to your volunteers leading up to the event, the lower your no-show rate. VolunteerLocal gives you all the tools you need to send (and schedule) both emails and text messages to your volunteers - by job, shift, location or event-wide. These messages can be customized with each volunteer's unique name, job details and profile link.

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.
