Volunteer Worker Scheduling Software, Group Appointments

Most nonprofit organizations rely on volunteers in varying degrees for a lot of the work that they do. The jobs done by volunteers are as varied as the people who do them. In fact, in 2014, almost 63 million Americans volunteered their time and resources to countless organizations.  Regardless of the actual tasks they do, all of these volunteers have at least one thing in common: the time, energy, and resources they bring are critically important to an agency or program’s success.

Vital to the success of an organization are volunteer coordinators who help an organization run smoothly. They are the point of contact between the volunteers and the organization, and their primary job is to recruit volunteers, which requires wearing many hats.
