What is VolunteerLocal?

VolunteerLocal is the simplest solution for volunteer scheduling, coordination, communication and retention. It's easy-to-use, which means no learning curve for your or your fellow staffers - and friendly to your volunteers, too: we don't require them to create usernames/passwords to sign-up.

We care about user experience (that's you!) and volunteer experience. That's why we'll never bother you or your volunteers with ads. In addition, we can custom design your volunteer sign-up pages to match your website, meaning that your volunteers will never even feel like they're using a different software.

We don't believe in a one-size-fits all approach. Let us grow with you - enjoy unlimited volunteers, jobs, and shifts.

VolunteerLocal is incredibly versatile; we work with organizations and events that have even the most complex volunteer programs. Create flagged volunteer lists, generate and save detailed volunteer reports with 'ratings' to help you track your best performers, and publish branded, on-site credentials with one-click. We even offer a mobile app, native to both iPhone and Android devices!

Our customer support is unparalleled. Reach us by phone, email, or live chat!

Benefits of using VolunteerLocal

Time to do the rest of your job: drop the spreadsheet, Google Doc and overflowing inbox. Everything you need is in our system to coordinate your volunteers.

No stress: our service is running around the clock to show volunteers what spots are available. You don't have to deal with the scheduling nightmare - and the spots disappear as they fill online.

Get up and running quickly: just a few clicks and your event can be online in minutes. We provide real-time support to get you started and anytime throughout your recruitment process.

Happy volunteers: our one-page signup will make your volunteers love volunteering for you. That's why we call it Happy Volunteering.

Are you the Executive Director for a program that relies on a volunteer coordinator? If so, this service will keep them coming back every year because it simplifies the job so much. We often receive thank-you cards, t-shirts and (once) even dried cherries from our happy customers all over the country!

Pros

I enjoy the fact I can schedule fundraising races and other volunteer events with VolunteerLocal with great ease. Compatibility with social media platforms is great.

Abhishek G.

Researcher

Their help, flexibility in making the system fit our needs, and customer service has been fantastic and well worth the money. I foresee using VL for all of our current and future community events.

Katie C.

Volunteer Co-coordinator

I also have needed tech support to help with some changes and editing, and the fast response is impressive. The whole staff is friendly, understanding and pleasant to work with.

Sandy B.

Volunteer Coordinator

Cons

I also wonder if the higher levels give notification when a volunteer signs up or I may have missed this feature.

Gillian W.

For a "newbie", it can be confusing. A lot has to do with how the event coordinator sets up the sign-up process to sign up for events.

Victoria W.

Professional Volunteer

We had some issues when we launched initially but our rep helped us immediately and fixed the problem within five minutes.
