What is Volunteering used for?

Finding, training, deploying and thanking volunteers, and showing what their work achieved. All in one place.

Do volunteers need an account before they can look around?

No. Anyone can browse opportunities freely. An account is created the moment they apply, so nobody fills the same form twice.

Can it carry our brand, or sit on our website?

Yes. Launch a portal with your own name and colours, or connect it to your existing WordPress site.

Can we work with partner nonprofits?

Yes. Partners get their own login to post opportunities and manage their volunteers, while you set the rules.

Do you offer training and onboarding?

Yes; we stay through launch until your team runs it.

From the people who run volunteer programmes.

I signed up on a Friday and knew by Saturday where to go and whom to meet. That has not been my experience with volunteering before.

Our partners post their own opportunities and we approve them. We stopped being the bottleneck between an NGO and a willing employee.
