  • "Getting2Tri just hosted a first ever, paratriathlon training event in Charlotte, NC (last weekend). We used VolunteerLocal for the volunteer registration, management of jobs/shifts, and timely communications. The feedback was incredible! I can't tell you how many volunteers came up to me and commented how easy it was to register …

  • "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, …

  • "This software saved my volunteer director from quitting. Thank you so much for offering it for free to us little guys! It has been amazing for us."

  • "I recommend VolunteerLocal to anybody that ever has to coordinate an event with volunteers. It's amazing. We've used both the free and paid versions for events in Green Bay and we couldn't be happier with the ease and navigability of the process with the software. It's saved us so much …

  • "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 …

  • "VolunteerLocal was a godsend. It was one of those moments when I was searching for the perfect web application for my needs and found it. While I know it can be better, it really helped organize and streamline the way I have been able to manage our volunteers. An example …

  • "Having a tool, as basic as that sounds, just having a tool for volunteers to sign up for our upcoming orientations and events, is so wonderful. VolunteerLocal is super easy to use and compatible with other users--because we have three or four people managing the events at a time--and it's …

  • "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 …

  • "VolunteerLocal provides both the administrator and the volunteer critical tools to make volunteering fun, efficient and manageable. It's easy to use, provides automated communications & contributes significantly to a high retention rate."

  • "I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help with our VolunteerLocal page for the YESS Duck Derby! The program is an amazing and easy way for us to manage our large pool of volunteers, especially with so many events. Thank you for always responding quickly to …

  • "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 …

  • "When I joined the board, we had a volunteer database on our website. I'm not a techie, but I'm savvy. No. There is a better way to do this.' So we signed up for VolunteerLocal in early May and began promoting open volunteer positions in September--it was great. I could …
