Recently, I took on a new volunteer role as a service coordinator for a local group called The Frederick Giving Project.

As the service coordinator, my role is to lead our members in service projects at least once a quarter.

Our first project is a neighborhood cleanup event done in collaboration with Volunteer Frederick’s The Big Sweep.

The project serves as a fundraiser for local non-profits but also as a city/county cleanup project.

In my new role, I’ve been thinking more about the logistical craziness surrounding organizing and managing projects.  Without the proper tools, it can be overwhelming.

I thought to myself, “it would be so great to have an online tool whereby I can schedule projects, have volunteers sign up for tasks and be able to manage the projects in an efficient manner.”

I began to do some research and was so excited to come across VolunteerSpot,  a free online tool that helps you schedule activities, sign up volunteers, and send out invitations and reminders to volunteers.

It was perfect!

I took the online tour of the site and was sold!

I created an account and began practicing.

I created an event and tasks associated with the event and emailed it out.

It was so amazingly easy!

The site is perfect for folks who are leading or managing activities.

Whether it is for PTA, Girl/Boy Scout troops, faith based events or any other community based project, I encourage you to check it out.

When you do, you will be as excited as I continue to be!
