“Organizing volunteers was a nightmare before VolunteerLocal. Now, I don’t have to send five emails to each individual and update Excel spreadsheets three times a day. Volunteers can customize their experience based on their availability and interest.”

"VolunteerLocal makes it so easy to organize an event. It's great because we have a database of emails of people who like to volunteer for our events, so when we have a new event we set up a VolunteerLocal page for it (which is often quite easy because we can …

"I first learned about VolunteerLocal when I signed up for a volunteer shift with OFOAM, a local music festival in Utah. I found the volunteer experience simple and easy so I decided to try it for our not-for-profit event and so far I LOVE it. Much better than Google docs, …

"Living in a small city, I sort of fell into the roll of volunteer coordinator. Over the past year I have been using VolunteerLocal to help organize my volunteers for local events ranging from music, films and culture. This application has helped me succeed without a doubt. It has been …

"A perfect fit! Having organized many PTA events over the years, I have sampled several online volunteer registration tools, but none passed the test. They were difficult to use and confused an already tedious process. I found gold when I discovered VolunteerLocal. Gave them a test spin with our last …

"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 …

"Before VolunteerLocal, OFOAMs Volunteer Coordinator relied on back and forth emails, phone calls and handwritten spreadsheets to organize volunteers for the annual Ogden Music Festival (weekend after Memorial Day). Also before VolunteerLocal, our volunteers didn't have as much choice about where and when their shifts were and the communication they …

"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 …

"Before VolunteerLocal, we relied mostly on friends and word-of-mouth for volunteers. We tried reaching out to corporate businesses that had volunteer databases--we even put a blurb in the Des Moines register. The thing is, you can get some pretty crazy people that way. VolunteerLocal has been such an awesome tool …
