Volunteer Scheduling Software

Scheduling volunteers is one of the most challenging tasks on a coordinator's plate. As any volunteer coordinator knows, scheduling, communicating with, and monitoring volunteers and their schedules is difficult at best, and can often be exhausting. You must keep track of volunteers' names, skills and schedules. Nonprofits, charitable boards, community organizations and even political organizations already run on razor thin budgets. Time spent juggling volunteer schedules is time that could be better spent focusing on fundraising and other critical operations.

When it comes down to the task of scheduling volunteers, unless you're utilizing ShiftPlanning state-of-the-art online employee scheduling software, you're wasting time and potentially costing your organization unnecessarily.
