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.
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.
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.
I also wonder if the higher levels give notification when a volunteer signs up or I may have missed this feature.
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.
We had some issues when we launched initially but our rep helped us immediately and fixed the problem within five minutes.
