"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 my many questions and for providing the service at such an affordable rate."

"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 duplicate the event from a previous year and edit a few things) then email it out to our volunteer list and most of the spots get filled up right away! I'd definitely recommend it to others."

"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 were left with about 70 extra t-shirts after our first appearance at the State Fair because we didn't have an efficient way to record that information. VolunteerLocal has really improved the registration process for us. Our VolunteerLocal page went live at 8:00am on May 1st. In one hour, 140 spots were gone. After one day, I think there were only 18 spots left. Probably saved me about 100 hours of labor and I was able to customize my registration page to collect information on t-shirt sizes and colors. It was great. No leftover t-shirts, no Soduku Puzzles."

“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.”

"Our event was the 15th Annual Run for Zimbabwe Orphans and Fair - and we made it, thanks to VolunteerLocal! We had two Zimbabwe bands, Sadza buffet, nine cultural booths (games for the kids), mascots running around, t-shirts and eleven running races. We had a crew of about 400 volunteers. To manage all of this was CRAZY. VolunteerLocal really made our job better this year. Thank you!"
