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 use hard-copy forms that we put on our website--people filled them out and then faxed, mailed or emailed them back to us. I had to input each form into a spreadsheet, then place those volunteers based on our need for each job. I made email lists for each job and sent out schedules and job descriptions. For the walk this past year, I spent probably six full days organizing volunteers. VolunteerLocal has been so helpful! Now, I can spend my time fundraising instead of entering information into a spreadsheet. If I want to see how my volunteer database is going, I can just click the link and see how many have signed up, where we need more--everything. We can put job descriptions on the website, and we just couldn't do that before. This has been an amazing transition for us.
