Huzzah! We have just launched the first release of our new Volunteer System.

The software enables you to:

• easily create a number of different application forms, with both pre-set form elements and free-choice questions
• set different roles for each form (for instance, you might have a form for stewarding, with roles of: steward, steward (first aider), team leader…)
• view, edit and approve applicants (either individually or en masse)
• search for applicants by name
• instantly and simply mass-email applicants

We are also working on phase two of the software, which will introduce reporting functionality and, hopefully, the ability to schedule all of your volunteers’ shifts. Phase two should be complete early in the new year.

There’s a lot still to be done, but this should give clients enough to get started with and we’ll work with you to make sure that it matches your requirements.

Oh, and this is a standard part of the system package – i.e. there will be no additional fees or payments required to use it.
