Many clubs are currently struggling with a shortage of volunteers. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find enough volunteers for their events. This places a heavy burden and causes a great deal of stress for those in charge. The clubs in your association are also facing this problem. Support your clubs with VOLAGIC and help them find volunteers!

Shortage of volunteers: Fewer and fewer members are coming forward

Great events simply wouldn’t be possible without the help of many volunteers. But organising volunteers is a huge undertaking for many clubs. It’s usually the same people who pitch in, whilst others shirk their responsibilities. This makes the hard-working members feel unfairly treated, and they stop volunteering. The result is that the club has fewer and fewer volunteers.

This is exactly where VOLAGIC comes in: with VOLAGIC, clubs can keep track of all assignments at all times and record the number of hours worked by each member. What’s more, its clever features simplify the organisation of events and help clubs find enough volunteers.

Tackling the shortage with VOLAGIC

The simplest way to find volunteers is to require club members to help out. A general meeting resolution can set a minimum number of volunteer shifts. VOLAGIC helps clubs track whether this minimum has been met and identify exactly who has reached the target. At the end of the year, appropriate sanctions can be imposed. VOLAGIC shows every club member at any time how much more they still need to help. Additional options allow the pressure to be adjusted. For example, the person in charge can set VOLAGIC to disclose the hours worked within the team.

Another major advantage is that members can choose their own assignments. This means they are free to decide when they want to help and which tasks they wish to take on. This increases member satisfaction. Furthermore, VOLAGIC allows them to coordinate with their colleagues so that they can work together on assignments.

Making the role of the organising committee chair attractive

The role of head of organisation is very time-consuming in many clubs. VOLAGIC significantly reduces the administrative workload of the head of organisation by allowing them to delegate responsibilities. The system organises the allocation of volunteer assignments: it generates statistics, sends reminders, clearly defines areas of responsibility, etc. Through its functions, VOLAGIC makes the role more attractive. It becomes easier to find an organisational manager, and the chances of them staying in the role for longer increase because the workload is reduced!
