For federations and umbrella organisations

For many clubs, getting members actively involved can be a challenge. Not every member is willing to take an active role or volunteer at events. This can create a significant workload for event organisers when it comes to recruiting volunteers. As a federation, you can support your clubs by making volunteer recruitment easier and reducing the workload on their volunteers and organisers.

Volunteer shortage: Fewer and fewer members are volunteering

Great events are often impossible without the support of many volunteers. Organising volunteers and scheduling their shifts can be a major challenge for clubs. In many cases, the same people end up volunteering time and again, while others hold back. This can leave the most committed members feeling that the workload is unfairly distributed, eventually making them less willing to volunteer. The result: fewer and fewer volunteers are available to the club.

This is where VOLAGIC comes in. With VOLAGIC, clubs always have a clear overview of volunteer shifts and can keep track of the number of hours contributed by each member. The platform also simplifies event planning and makes it possible to set required volunteer hours for members.

Tackle the volunteer shortage with VOLAGIC

One way to ensure enough volunteers is to make volunteering part of club membership. This can be managed through membership fees or other incentives and rewards.

VOLAGIC helps clubs track the required minimum number of volunteer hours and see exactly which members have reached their target. Each member can see at any time how many hours they still need to complete. Additional options allow clubs to adjust how strongly these requirements are enforced. For example, organisers can choose to make volunteer hours visible within a group.

Another major advantage is that members choose their own shifts. They can decide when they want to volunteer and which tasks they would like to take on. This increases member satisfaction and also allows members to sign up for shifts together.

Make volunteering more attractive

In most clubs, committee members and other officials work on a voluntary basis. They often take care of club responsibilities outside normal working hours and at weekends. The greater the administrative workload, the greater the burden.

VOLAGIC significantly reduces the administrative work involved in event and volunteer management. Knowledge is stored centrally, processes are automated and responsibilities can be delegated. Less admin means more time for club life, while also helping clubs retain volunteers in key roles for longer and making succession planning easier.
