"With great communication and customer service like you wouldn't believe, Volunteer Local has helped us expand and enhance our volunteer database and reach a new level of professionalism."

"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."

"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 received about their shifts was sometimes confusing. We had an unhappy Volunteer Coordinator and unhappy volunteers! When our Volunteer Coordinator quit this year (no surprise), with no replacement in the wings, we thought we'd be lost without her. We spoke with other local non-profits about our dilemma and the GOAL Foundation highly recommended your service. In desperation, I signed us up for the free version and began creating jobs and shifts. I found the set up to be very user friendly and our friends at GOAL helped me with some of the finer points along the way. Our biggest challenge was getting our volunteers to use the online sign up, since they had been used to the old way of doing business. Since VolunteerLocal, our communication with volunteers has been clearer, the job descriptions helped them know what to expect and the confirmation email gave them their schedule without me having to lift a finger! Happy (but still looking for a replacement) "Volunteer Coordinator" and happy volunteers thanks VolunteerL."

"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 and know exactly what they were supposed to be doing. Thanks for having such a great product."

"Just wanted to thank-you for the fabulous new improvements to this process, I loved all the descriptions, as a second year parent this was extrememly helpful. All sign up in less than 15 mintues, including phone calls back and forth to my husband, thanks so much for streamlining this task. Great job."

"Volunteers are the backbone of our national events, and VolunteerLocal's system allows us to easily manage a large volunteer force."

"VolunteerLocal was an invaluable tool in our event preparation and execution. There is not a better volunteer management tool for the money."

“I have enjoyed using VolunteerLocal, and we have had positive feedback from our volunteers as well. I just wanted to say Thank You to you and your team. It is a pleasure working with you all.”

“For me, it’s knowing that there are going to be people who have been training for months, recovering from all sorts of ailments or running for someone else – it’s seeing them cross the finish line. That’s the most fulfilling part of my job.”

“We sent out a survey to our volunteers after the race, and their responses were just overwhelmingly positive for VolunteerLocal. it was so easy.”

“My favorite feature is the instant email confirmation that is sent after registration – it provides the volunteer peace of mind that they are registered, and lets them know we are excited to have them join us!”

“Our group has found VolunteerLocal very simple and easy to use. We have received a lot of positive feedback and even users who are technologically challenged have enjoyed it. It has also greatly reduced the amount of time needed to manage registrants who want to volunteer for Welcome Week.”

“Three cheers for VolunteerLocal!”

“Our staff was very excited and mostly sat with their chins agape at how robust VolunteerLocal is.”

“VolunteerLocal is a fantastic volunteer management solution! I was able to convince (wasn’t hard) the fair leadership to upgrade to the Discover Plan ($200). Thanks again for your time and help!”
