VolunteerMatters provides templates for automated and user-initiated communication. Allow the system to send reminders, thank yous, and requests for feedback via text and email. Administrators can also invite potential and active volunteers, send assignment updates, and more.
Create volunteer recruitment pages to advertise your initiatives and specific roles. No web design experience necessary – if you can fill out an online form, you can create engaging recruitment pages with ease.
Define which electronic agreements, background checks, certifications, training courses, reference checks, and interviews are required for each volunteer role. VolunteerMatters handles them all, giving you a central place to implement, enforce, and audit your vetting and onboarding policies.
Let volunteers fulfill their vetting and onboarding requirements on their own while prompting administrators to approve things when necessary. Set how often credentials must be repeated and let the system prompt volunteers to update when the time is right.
