Scheduling & Volunteer Experience

Jobs & Shifts

Define exactly what roles and responsibilities you need and then create specific jobs and shifts to ensure that every aspect of your event is covered. Volunteers can view these detailed schedules and select the opportunities that best suit their skills and availability.

VolunteerLocal’s Jobs & Shifts are Endlessly Customizable:

VolunteerLocal’s unique platform is built with layers. We give you a lot of control to configure your event or program exactly the way you want, with customizable options at every layer.

Event or Program Layer

Things like the name, time zone, signup behaviors and reminders.

Jobs Layer

Anything that needs to be done, from Food Packing to Merchandise Booth to Event Tear Down, with attached descriptions, files, passwords, sub-categories, directions, qualifications and more.

Shifts Layer

Information about dates, times and spots to fill in four types of shifts: standard (date & time), flexible (date only), placeholder (no date/time) and self-reported (a volunteer-initiated shift). Shifts can also have passwords, locations, and other attributes.
