How it works

Hours that hold up, with almost nothing to learn

Volunteers check in at the door. Organizations get a record they can put in front of a funder. Three steps each, and nothing to install.

If you volunteer

You need an account and a phone. That is the whole list.

1

Find a shift and sign up

Browse opportunities near you and register for the ones you can make. You will get a confirmation, and a reminder the day before so it does not slip.

2

Check in when you arrive

Scan the code at the door, or type the six digits shown on the organization's screen. If your camera will not cooperate, the digits always work.

3

Your hours are recorded for you

The time is calculated from the shift and saved to your record. Download it whenever you need it — for school service requirements, a scholarship, or your own files.

If you run an organization

Free, and no setup call. You can have a shift posted in a few minutes.

1

Post a shift

Date, time, place, how many people you need. Make it repeat weekly or monthly if it does. Keep it private to the people you invite, or list it publicly.

2

Share the link, then check people in

Send the link anywhere you already reach people. On the day, print the code or put the rotating one on a tablet at the door. Anyone you missed, you can add from your roster.

3

Pull the report

Hours, volunteers and in-kind value for any date range, as a PDF you can hand to a funder or a board. Every hour says how it was recorded.

What "recorded" means on each hour

Every hour in a report says how it was established. We do not use one word for four different things, because the organizations handing these reports to funders are the ones who would be embarrassed by it.

Presence verified
The volunteer proved they were at the event: a code that changes every minute on a screen at the door, or a scan with the phone confirmed inside the event's radius. This is the strongest record we produce.
Scanned during shift
A printed code was scanned during the shift window. That records the scan and its time — a printed code can be photographed, so it is not the same claim as being there, and we do not dress it up as one.
Added by the organization
A coordinator recorded the hours from their own attendance records, without a scan. Entirely legitimate, and it says so.
