Everything you need to know about Get Connected

Volunteer management software is a tool designed to help organizations efficiently manage their volunteer programs.

Volunteer management software is implemented by any organization that relies on volunteers to achieve their goals, such as nonprofits, charities, community groups, schools, faith-based organizations, and more!

Volunteer management software (VMS) offers a more effective solution than traditional methods like spreadsheets by reducing manual work and minimizing errors.

Get Connected centralizes all volunteer management tasks in one location, allowing you to oversee your entire program—scheduling, communications, reporting, and more—from a single dashboard.

VMS automates key tasks such as recruiting, scheduling, tracking volunteer hours, communication, and reporting.

It provides quick access to volunteer data, enabling you to create segmented lists of qualified volunteers and match them with suitable opportunities. 

Additionally, Get Connected is designed with Volunteer Engagement in mind, creating an interactive volunteer experience that boosts motivation and participation.
