Schedule Volunteers

Scheduling volunteers in VolunteerLocal is tie-your-shoes easy. While our software is flexible in process and presentation, some common ways our software is used include:

  • Self-scheduling: volunteers select jobs and shifts at the time of registration
  • Self-scheduling, after approval: volunteers complete an application, pass an approval process, and then select jobs and shifts
  • Administrative scheduling: volunteers complete an application and administrators place volunteers as they see fit
  • Administrative scheduling (imports): mass import your volunteers from a CSV file

 

Self-scheduling options
VolunteerLocal provides list-views and calendar-grid views to accommodate your needs. We also offer settings such as minimum/maximum shift selection to accommodate your requirements.

VolunteerLocal offers two methods for volunteers to sign up.

  • Application style: implement an application process complete with approved/denied status capabilities and qualifications to put the right volunteer in the right task
  • Sign-up Page style: single-page signup for quick shift selection - no username or password required!

  1. Simple job and shift creation
  2. Password protect jobs or shifts
  3. Add detailed job descriptions
  4. Upload files to jobs - parking passes, course maps, etc.
  5. Assign locations to shifts

Premier Event Management used Volunteer Local on a daily basis from March-October. Volunteer Local allowed us to coordinate over 4,000 volunteers throughout the 2013 season in the easiest way possible. We worked with volunteers throughout an 8 state region and it allowed us to easily communicate and keep track of volunteer numbers. Thank you for allowing us to coordinate and organize volunteers for some of the largest triathlons and road races in the country and also for keeping us sane!
