Volunteer Management System (VMS)
Willingness is common. Direction is rare.
VMS takes people who have offered to help and gives them something specific to do. Volunteers register themselves, are matched to work that suits their skills and location, and their contribution is recorded. A volunteer with no assignment stops being a volunteer.
What VMS does
- Self-Service Registration
- Supporters sign themselves up without a staff member keying in their details.
- Skill and Availability Matching
- Assign work based on what a volunteer can do and when they are free.
- Team Structures
- Group volunteers into teams with their own leads and territories.
- Contribution Tracking
- Record hours, tasks completed and reliability against each volunteer.
- Recognition and Retention
- Identify the volunteers worth promoting into coordinating or paid roles.
Campaign Operations. The daily work of building and moving support.
Works with
- Organisation & Access Control — Who is in the campaign, and what they may touch.
- Grassroots Mobilisation Engine — Winning is a daily activity, not an event.
