The Issue
If you work as a staff member or leader of a service organization, you understand the realities of managing the volunteering process:
- publicize the need, signup volunteers, communicate instructions, send reminders, complete the task.
All the while you have to have accurate contact information and know what your volunteers can and want to do.
Volunteers need a forum to learn about and sign up for service opportunites, maintain their contact information, receive announcements and instructions and automatically receive alerts when new opportunities match their interests.
You need a centralized tool that allows you to broadcast needs and events, coordinate participation, delegate tasks and stay connected to your volunteers - with a minimum of staff or volunteer resources, and without breaking the bank on printing and postage.
The LifeEngage Solution
LifeEngage provide hosted solutions that links service groups and organizations with their members for the benefit of serving.
- Provides real-time, online collaboration between members and service organization staff
- Tracks volunteer opportunities, requirements and successful fulfillment of efforts
- Matches needs with member interests, and skills
- Empowers members to manage their own service interests without requiring direct assistance from staff
- Helps service organization better communicate with members and manage project participation
Staff can easily manage and publish volunteer opportunities, send broadcast communications, manage volunteer sign-ups, approve volunteers and delegate tasks.
Members can sign-up online, update their contact information, view their obligations and establish a Member Profile that tracks their service interests, participation, and skills.
Members automatically receive emails of new opportunities matching their profile, reminder alerty of opportunities they have committed too. Plus, then can go online anytime and check details of opportunity (time, location, what to bring, etc) before they show up. All of this is done without making a phone call or email to staff members.
