Easy, Fast, Effective
This site offers you the option to create and manage groups of volunteers efficiently. (Team means the same thing as group on this site.) By creating a team, you can invite volunteers to participate, easily confirm plans with the agency where you want to serve, communicate important information to your volunteer team with the click of a button and get organized in record time.
There are two types of teams you can create: Public and Private. A public group is open to any registered user on this site searching for teams to join. A private group is invite-only to those you want on your team.
