From a single smartphone interface volunteers can handle scheduling, keep their contact details current, and log hours — all with a few intuitive gestures. The app supports more than 200,000 active volunteers across the organization and is designed to make routine administrative tasks quicker and more convenient.

Advantages for volunteers
