Your Nonprofit’s Volunteer Opportunities, All in One Place
Give volunteers one place to explore your nonprofit’s opportunities while keeping your programs connected in Unison.
Your volunteer coordinator manages three programs: one by spreadsheet, one using a clunky add-on from your fundraising software, and one with an online signup tool riddled with ads.
Your head of development maintains her own list of gala volunteers and coordinates them by email.
And your new volunteers? Their names sit on a paper signup sheet at your front desk.
Soon the questions start coming:
- “Who’s coordinating the coat drive this year?”
- “Where’s the signup link for meal deliveries?”
- “Have we gotten our new volunteers set up with shifts?”
Does this sound familiar to you? When volunteer opportunities are spread across disconnected tools, your team has more to coordinate—and even your most active volunteers can feel lost.
Unison’s Directory Pages, available on the Team and Pro plans, bring those opportunities together for volunteers, giving them one place to explore ways to help and take the next step. Plus, it makes it easier for your team to coordinate.
One Central Hub for Volunteer Opportunities
A Directory Page in Unison makes finding opportunities easy for volunteers. They can browse every opportunity listed on your Directory Page—from ongoing programs to community outreach and special events.
Behind that shared page, different staff members can manage the opportunities they oversee within Unison. As volunteers sign up, their information becomes part of your organization’s volunteer database, helping your team keep records connected across programs.
It’s simple. It’s organized. And it’s built for the way nonprofits actually work—helping more people get involved.
How Directory Pages Support Your Volunteer Management
- Connect opportunities across programs. Volunteers can easily explore the opportunities you choose to feature across your nonprofit, not just the ones they already know about—helping new volunteers step forward.
- Support multiple program leaders. Each opportunity can be managed by its own admin within the wider volunteer management system.
- Keep volunteer information connected. Unison keeps volunteer rosters, contact details, and reports current in real time across your organization. With Unison Pro, you can also track attendance and service hours using the Check-in Kiosk.
- Easy to share on channels you already use. Embed your Directory Page directly in your nonprofit’s website (available on the Pro plan), add a button or link, share the link in your email newsletter, or use our built-in QR codes.
- Create a consistent volunteer experience. Give volunteers a familiar way to explore opportunities across your nonprofit, with clear descriptions, commitment details, and next steps—whichever program they choose to support.
How to Start Using Directory Pages
Unison makes it easy to use and share Directory Pages. Here are a few best practices:
- Begin by identifying the volunteer opportunities your nonprofit most wants to promote: ongoing programs, community initiatives, special events, or seasonal outreach.
- Decide who will manage each opportunity, then add clear, consistent role descriptions, time commitments, locations, and contact details. These details help volunteers find a good fit and know what to expect.
- Bring those opportunities together on your Directory Page.
- Give volunteers a clear route to that page through your website, email newsletter, social media, and other places volunteers already hear from you.
Ready to Bring It All Together?
Bringing your volunteer opportunities together helps your nonprofit put more of its needs in front of the people ready to help. Program leaders can coordinate within one shared system, volunteer records stay connected, and your team spends less time juggling separate tools and lists.
Your volunteers shouldn’t have to know which program to ask about—or which staff member to contact—to find a way to help. A Directory Page gives them one reliable place to start, whether they’re volunteering for the first time or looking for another way to contribute.
