About 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!
Key benefits of 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!

VolunteerLocal has been an invaluable service for Youth Emergency Services & Shelter (YESS) and our annual special event, the YESS Duck Derby. The site is incredibly easy to use and the communication features make it easy to share shift updates and last-minute details to volunteers all in one place. I highly recommend VolunteerLocal for anyone managing an event that utilizes volunteers.
Pros
I love the ease of use, both from the administrative side as well as the general user.
Cons
There can be some clumsiness if you choose to only confirm a volunteer once they have clicked a link in an email to confirm. In the interim the shift does not appear to be filled, so you can end up overfilling a shift pretty easily. It would be nice if it could place a "hold" on the shift for maybe 24 hours or some set amount of time.
There is a simple solution to this, though, which is just to change your settings so that the shift is automatically confirmed.

Pros
How easy it was to use and how it helped us better manage volunteer groups and communication.
Cons
Having to go through each email draft in order to see the one I was looking for was a bit frustrating. It would be nice if you could search the title rather than scroll through each one to look for it.

Pros
Email is useful. Quick view of position fullness on reports is a nice visual. Copying events is nice, especially auto adjusting all dates.
Cons
add file upload to a job that can be inserted as a smart tag into emails so only volunteers for that specific job see these documents (ie. training manuals)
