A Volunteer Management System that Matches Non-profits and Volunteers

1-800-Volunteer.org makes it easier for volunteers to find a way to serve locally, and we provide a volunteer management system for organizations who need volunteers to fulfill their mission.

We are the most affordable public volunteering service available that supports the entire (360°) cycle of volunteer management. Our service includes:

English and Spanish Volunteer Recruitment

Volunteer opportunities can be posted in both English and Spanish. To help outreach efforts to Spanish-speaking volunteers we've created a guide that includes bilingual communications templates. Learn about our bilingual recruiting tools.

Referral, Record of Service Tracking, and Reporting

  • When volunteers or groups are referred to an agency
  • When they are successfully placed
  • Hours worked, to facilitate recognition of outstanding service
  • Standardized or customized reporting of:
    • The success of your recruiting efforts
    • Areas in which volunteers serve
    • Your volunteers' impact on the community
  • Automatic Communication with Volunteers
    • when volunteers register for an opportunity, a follow-up reminder, and a thank you when their service is complete.

Emergency Response & Unaffiliated Volunteer Management

Use our service to identify skilled volunteers by skill and availability before disaster strikes. Then put your team into action faster when disaster survivors need your help.

Web Hosting & Design

Our service makes it easy to create a customized website design, even if you have no web design experience or knowledge of HTML. Hosting is provided on secure AOL servers and protected by SSL (Secure Sockets Layers).

Full-Scale Support

Even the most innovative technology is only as good as the technology support and service your receive. Our users receive online training, training and marketing resources, and 10 AM -6 PM EST technical support via email.
