Volunteer tracking software describes digital solutions that are designed to centralize the monitoring of volunteer hours, activities, and outcomes in a single, secure system. In the best cases (like with Volunteer Impact!), volunteer tracking tools are part of a comprehensive management platform that also supports other program functions, such as recruitment, training, communication, scheduling, and recognition.

Accurate volunteering data is essential to demonstrate your program’s impact to organizational leadership, board members, current and prospective supporters, grantmakers, and other interested parties. Collecting this data in one place, visualizing it for easy analysis, and pulling reports to support presentations are all easier with dedicated software.

Volunteer Impact’s volunteer portal and app provide easy access to everything volunteers need to manage their experiences in your program, including time tracking, scheduling, training resources, and contact information for staff and peers. To track hours, volunteers simply log into the portal on desktop or mobile, navigate to the time tracking section, and follow the instructions to enter their hours and activities in the right places. Then, coordinators can view and verify all logs through the dashboard on their end of the solution.
