VolunteerLocal - Simple, streamlined volunteer scheduling, registration and communication

We love supporting the efforts of nonprofit organizations! Getting started on VolunteerLocal is easy: log into your VolunteerLocal account, create the jobs and shifts you need filled, and turn that event “live.” You can then share this sign-up link (generated by VolunteerLocal) to prospective volunteers in a newsletter, an email or through your organization's social media channels.

When volunteers sign-up to work for the event, you'll have access to an array of administrative tools in your account - including a report showing all filled and unfilled shifts, editable volunteer profiles for each signup, and the ability to export all your volunteer data to Excel. By creating a process that streamlines all the paperwork, it is our hope that your volunteers can focus on the real work of helping your nonprofit organization make the world a better, cleaner, healthier place. Happy volunteering!

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 VolunteerLocal!
