Where municipalities and communities connect
As you support your city’s vision to enhance the quality of life for all residents and the success of all businesses, you need a simple and effective way to engage and manage the volunteers you rely on as your essential unpaid workforce.
An easy-to-use, web-based service, VOLY.org provides a dynamic way to connect the city’s needs with volunteers who have a passion for improving the city in which they live. This fully hosted, cloud-based solution lets your volunteers quickly find and easily sign up for opportunities that match their personal missions and individual schedules – from any device.
For continuity and ease of communication, your VOLY.org site can be linked back to your city website. You and your volunteers can also spread the word and engage more people with built-in social media tools. A unique URL can be used to link volunteers directly to city departments and find specific opportunities.
VOLY.org at-a-glance
Share unlimited volunteer opportunities
Your departments and your local nonprofit partners may post any number of one-time or ongoing volunteer opportunities to capture the attention of individuals and groups who share a passion for your city.
You can easily connect with individuals, teams and corporations who care about improving your community.
VOLY.org is personalized for your city, fostering citizen engagement and visibility for city needs.
Match the right volunteers with the right opportunities
Multiple filters and a built-in map help automate the prescreening of volunteer applicants, so those who respond to your postings have the interest, skills and availability to meet your needs.
Every posting has a dedicated URL, so you can link volunteers directly to specific opportunities.
As volunteers participate, the system “learns” their interests and sends them recurring and new opportunities of a similar nature via a weekly email, giving you an ongoing flow of participants.
Quickly and easily track and manage volunteers - from any device
Use built-in, automated tools for tracking, scheduling and reporting volunteer activity. Report data can be easily exported for presentation purposes.
Event rosters, pre-assigned hours and remote check-in make capturing volunteer hours a breeze. VOLY.org will send automatic reminders to each volunteer you approve, and thank you notes when hours are reported.
Your individualized department dashboards provide at-a-glance views for upcoming needs, and historical data of your volunteer engagement.
Create visibility, recognition, and engagement + achieve true impact
When you use VOLY.org to support the recruiting and management of volunteers, you’ll see an immediate lift in productivity and participation. It takes just minutes to post a volunteer opportunity, using a simple, easy-to-follow user interface, and the responses start flowing in. VOLY.org also integrates with third-party applications such as background checking and reporting tools.
VOLY.org eliminates the need to manage individual spreadsheets and databases, easing the administrative burden of recruiting, tracking, managing and reporting volunteer activity.
