Volunteer Management

Watch a brief (6:30 mins) video demonstration of the Volunteer Management features in Common Ground.

The Volunteer Management features built in Common Ground provide the tools for nonprofit organizations to organize multi-shift volunteer jobs, select the desired and required qualifications and easily find available volunteers in the database whose availability and skills match upcoming shifts.

• Volunteer Jobs with Multiple Shifts – Track volunteer jobs with multiple shifts, locations and required qualifications.
• Track Individual Availability & Skills – Keep track of volunteer's schedule of availability and record appropriate skills that can be used to match them with upcoming job shifts.
• Participation Tracking and Reporting – All volunteer history is tracked for every individual shift, allowing staff to identify coverage gaps and monitor results through reports and dashboards.
• Find Available & Qualified Volunteers – Filter potential volunteers for every shift by availability or qualifications; or combine the two to quickly identify the best match for an upcoming shift.
• Manage Shift Registrations & Attendance – Track shift volunteers including prospective volunteers, registered volunteers, and individuals on the wait list. Set maximum and minimum numbers of volunteers per shift and view quick summary counts per job.
