HOW IT WORKS
OnVolunteers is the smartest, easiest way to manage your School’s volunteer program - digital, extremely efficient, and super simple for everyone.
For Volunteer Program Administrators
Why It Matters
1
We set up everything for you -
from creating your ‘Parent Portals’ to entering all your school events, activities and volunteer jobs for the whole year.
Your volunteer program will be automated in days
- not weeks. After we set up your volunteer portal, all you do is launch with your families. No stress, no hassles.
2
Customize and track key information -
have different ‘Target Hour’s for families, show volunteer jobs to groups or only to those who’ve completed criminal background checks.
A volunteer process suited to your unique needs
- Our unique, flexible system is designed for your unique needs. Have a volunteer process that aligns with your volunteer program.
3
Super Easy for Parents -
everything volunteer-related is in one place - from viewing, signing up and even communicating with the volunteer team.
Maximum Parent involvement
- making it easy for parents to get involved leads to greater parent involvement, resulting in a much stronger school community.
4
Have a Verifiable process -
with the automated Check In/Out or Coordinator Approval processes, you have a certifiable way to account for hours. 100% clarity, zero confusion.
A Just and Equitable process
- all parents have equal access to all volunteer positions. Most importantly, accountability for volunteering is placed on parents, as it should be.
5
Automated Parent Hours Status monitoring and communication -
parents with low hours are automatically identified and engaged. Drive parent participation in school activities, build a stronger community.
Parents remain up-to-date on the status of their service hours
- timely, automated communication ensures families are prompted to do their part in school activities and events, ensuring everything goes smoothly.
6
Volunteer data in 3 clicks -
the myriad of built-in reports, available in just a few clicks, enable you to quickly and easily determine who’s completed their hours and who has not.
Transparency, Peace of Mind, Confidence
- your School Administration and Parent Association will have information they need. Make everyone happy.
Within weeks of implementing the OnVolunteers system, we began to see transformational change in our Parent Participation program. Being a K-12 school, we have a big volunteer program, with 100+ activities and hundreds of volunteer positions. In the first year, we cut the # of hours we spent managing our program by 50%. In the second year, we spent 75% less time than with our previous process, this translated to over 2,000 hours saved. With the unique features in OnVolunteers, we eliminated the confusion and chaos we had from our previous volunteer software. There’s no better system for independent schools, we love and recommend OnVolunteers.

"The SportsHelpers system has proven invaluable for managing our league's volunteer program, providing a centralized platform for everything from volunteer roles in tournaments to family account information, hours tracking, and communication.With SportsHelpers, our volunteer program is now automated.
Each family has their own unique "volunteer portal," where they can easily view all available volunteer opportunities. The system automatically tracks their volunteer activities and hours, giving families a clear view of their progress toward fulfilling their volunteer hours. For families needing a gentle reminder to meet their hours, SportsHelpers automatically identifies those who are low on hours and sends them updates on their status. This streamlined approach brings two major benefits: it eliminates the need for us to manually monitor and contact families who haven't completed their hours, and, most importantly, it helps us efficiently recruit volunteers to ensure our events run smoothly. With SportsHelpers, our Administration team saves a huge amount of time managing our volunteer program.
The SportsHelpers system makes our volunteer program extremely efficient, and because of that, we absolutely recommend it to other youth sports leagues."
