What do you want to know? Volunteer Solutions can help you get it!
by Rhonda Veugen on November 5, 2003
Customization and flexibility are very important pieces to providing a useful, technical solution for gathering information. Volunteer Solutions, UWA's premier volunteer matching application, has expanded its built-in functionality to help you capture the information you need to find out how you are making a difference in your community!

The site itself can be designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing website. In addition, you can create custom questions, add categories to the taxonomy, feature agencies and opportunities, create meaningful icons to assign to individual listings, modify the Terms and Conditions for agency registration, turn on/off certain features such as volunteer hours tracking, and the list goes on.

Examples of what you can do:

  • Customize the registration forms for agencies and volunteers. Do you want to know if an agency is providing a service that fits in with one of your goal areas? Just ask! How about asking if a potential volunteer would like to receive more information from you on a certain topic? It's simple and easy.

  • Choose the reports you want! The administrative sections of Volunteer Solutions allow you to choose the reports you want instead of just providing you with a list of canned reports. Find out who is volunteering where, how many hours they have volunteered, what social group they have affected and so much more!

  • Learn what kind of opportunities your volunteers are interested in and find out in real-time what kind of opportunities are missing. With real-time data, you always know what kind of volunteers or agencies to target.

  • Promote outstanding volunteer opportunities, or those which best meet a present need, by creating icons to help them stand out on the site.

  • Have a special event coming up? There are many different places to promote specifics and even have volunteers sign up.

  • So much more!
