MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR VOLUNTEERS

The estimated value of volunteer time is somewhere between $19 per hour and $34 per hour. Don’t you want your school district to be able to take advantage of this abundant resource?

Far more reliable than paper-based systems, Volunteer Tracker volunteer software makes it easy to approve and manage volunteers. You will save time and money with our automated solution. Volunteer Tracker’s web-based portal offers easy access – anytime, anywhere for volunteers, teachers or school administrators. With no software to load, files to save or costly multi-user licenses, users can sign-on from any computer to apply, update information, or manage volunteers. The Volunteer Tracker provides easy online access and a single application that captures all information needed for background checks and for matching volunteers to opportunities.

Though they bring many benefits, volunteer programs can also create challenges. Namely, all these volunteers need to be managed and coordinated. This creates a long list of tasks for school administrators. The Volunteer Tracker will help you automate this process and greatly reduce the amount of time to process background checks, notify volunteers and ensure that school volunteer administrators have access to up to date information any time!

“The majority of our county’s volunteer applications are submitted from September to mid-November. The year prior to implementing the Volunteer Tracker, it took me up to 6 hours a day to process the applications and update the excel file to keep the schools’ data current. This had a huge impact on normal HR duties at the beginning of the school year. There is really no comparison to how much more efficient the Volunteer Tracker is because the time aI have to dedicate to processing volunteers is approximately 1/10th of last year’s. Volunteer Tracker has also put the power back into the hands of the various schools as to how they can best utilize volunteers because of their ability to post opportunities and contact volunteers via email.”

Kathy Bradley, Granville County Schools NC

“The Volunteer Tracker has benefited our district by providing a safer environment for everyone. It allows us to avoid potential problems by alerting our school district and volunteer coordinator to individuals who have a background that is not in the best interest of our students. The Volunteer Tracker has helped us to get better acquainted with our volunteers. We certainly appreciate it and so do our volunteers. They know that we care not only about our students and employees, but also about them. It has improved the relationship between volunteers and the schools. Parents are happy knowing that their children are around volunteers who have been cleared by Human Resources.”

Soraya Wright, Wilson County Schools NC
