VolunteerLocal

"VolunteerLocal saved me a lot of time and stress while coordinating volunteers for the 105th Drake Relays. In the past we had been relying on emails, phone calls, and random post-it notes to fill positions but streamlining everything through one website was a lifesaver! The most time consuming aspect of using this tool was the initial process of getting everything in the system but because you can archive events, next year will be a breeze! I recommend VolunteerLocal if you are looking to reduce stress and improve the sign-up experience of both the volunteer coordinator and the volunteers."

"As an event production company, we are always looking for great systems to coordinate volunteers. VolunteerLocal has helped streamline our process for volunteer management. We produce numerous events with over 100+ volunteers and have been using VolunteerLocal for the past few years. It's so easy to use. My favorite feature is the communication tool - sending important information to our volunteers. You can set this up in advance and forget about it. Receiving support from the VolunteerLocal team is fast and they will take the extra time to give you more tips if you are not already using them. Overall, I would recommend VolunteerLocal to other event management companies. You all know how important organization is for events and VolunteerLocal has helped make that easier for our volunteer recruitment efforts."

"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."
