Shift scheduling

Post shifts by program and role, set capacity limits, and let volunteers sign up online, with guests and minors handled by your rules.

Background checks & waivers

Track background check status and expiration per volunteer, and collect digital waiver signatures tied to each shift.

Automated volunteer journeys

Onboarding, first-shift reminders, and re-engagement emails go out automatically as a volunteer moves through their lifecycle.

Hours & reporting

Every completed shift rolls up into hours totals and program-level reporting your team can hand to the board.

One volunteer record

Everything about a volunteer, in one place

Status, waivers, hours, and shift history all live on the same record, connected to the rest of your CRM.

Status at a glance

See applicant, active, and inactive volunteers, plus no-shows and last shift date.

Waivers on file

Every signed waiver is tied to the shift it was signed for, ready to review.

Hours & shift history

Total hours and shifts completed update automatically as shifts are checked in.

Connected to the donor record

A volunteer who also gives shows up as one connected contact, not two disconnected records.

How it works

From application to a logged shift

A volunteer moves through the same lifecycle every time, with background checks and waivers handled before they ever step onto a schedule.

Applies

A volunteer submits an application for a program that interests them.

Background check clears

The check runs automatically, so nobody gets scheduled before they're cleared.

Signs the waiver

A digital waiver is signed and tied to their first shift.

Signs up for a shift

They browse open shifts by program and role and pick one that fits.

Hours log automatically

A completed shift rolls straight into their hours total and program reporting.

Why teams switch

Scheduling, screening, and follow-up all happen inside the same system your team already uses for donors.
