The critical nature of effective volunteer engagement is something every non-profit knows well. From recruitment to communication to data analysis, each part of the volunteer coordination process contributes to an organization's success - or failure. Done poorly, volunteer coordination is a drain on resources. Done well, volunteer engagement enhances an organization's mission, reputation, and, ultimately, its bottom line. Since its founding in 2009, VolunteerLocal has built itself into a trustworthy volunteer management platform for non-profit sectors, such as food insecurity, animal services, civic groups, and educational organizations, that often do not receive tech attention and support. Thanks to its industry leading customer service and accessible pricing, it boasts thousands successful events with top-notch reviews. The reason? VolunteerLocal gives a shift. See what we did there? Our goal is to put smiles in the volunteer management process - and we do. From Volunteer Coordinators who are so pleased with our process they hand-write notes of gratitude, to applicants and volunteers who give excellent feedback on the user experience, everyone who interacts with VolunteerLocal is happy.
