Volunteer recruitment

Help people find their fit with clear descriptions of ways to volunteer, shared on your website or through a link. Online forms collect applications and update volunteer information, while social sharing and QR codes make it easy to spread the word.

Volunteer onboarding

Help new volunteers move from application to first shift with clear review and approval steps. Keep training dates, background-check status, and required paperwork together, so you can see who's ready to serve and who needs a follow-up.

Volunteer scheduling

Let volunteers choose shifts, assign qualified people with drag and drop, or set up regular schedules. Keep events and ongoing programs covered with email and text reminders, requests for substitutes, and weekly emails highlighting open shifts.

Volunteer hour tracking and reporting

Let volunteers record their hours by checking in and out on an iPad or phone. Adjust records, identify missed shifts, and download reports by volunteer or activity to show funders and leadership the difference your volunteers make.

Volunteer recognition

Create and send a beautiful award in just seconds. Celebrate milestones, recognize everyday contributions, or say a personal thank-you. Unison makes recognition easy and fun so volunteers feel appreciated and keep coming back.

Frequently asked questions

How is Unison different from a simple online signup tool?: Online signups help fill volunteer shifts. Unison also helps you manage the people and processes behind them. With Unison Pro, you can organize volunteer information, guide applicants through onboarding, track service hours, and coordinate multiple programs - while keeping signups simple for volunteers.
Can Unison handle both one-time events and ongoing volunteer programs?: Yes. Organize a single event, coordinate recurring shifts, or manage both in one place. Volunteers can choose open shifts, and organizers can assign people directly. Team and Pro also support repeating assignments for volunteers who serve on a regular schedule.
Can we manage volunteer applications and onboarding?: Yes. Collect applications through online forms, then use Pro to track each person's progress through your onboarding stages. Keep training dates, background-check status, and other details with volunteer records, and limit certain roles to volunteers who meet your requirements.
Can we track volunteer hours and report on our impact?: Yes. Unison Pro lets you track actual volunteer hours, make adjustments, and report by volunteer, activity, or date range. View totals and export records to help recognize contributions and show your organization's impact to leadership and funders. Learn about hours reporting.
Can different departments or locations use the same account?: Yes. Unison Pro helps you organize volunteer activities by department, chapter, or location and give administrators access to the programs they manage. Each team can coordinate its own activities while your organization keeps its volunteer program together in one place.
Can we import our existing volunteer information?: Yes. Import volunteer information from an Excel or CSV file, so you can bring your current volunteer list with you. Match your spreadsheet columns to fields in Unison, including custom fields available with Pro. See how importing works.
Do volunteers need to create an account or download an app?: No. Volunteers can sign up for shifts without creating an account, and Unison works in a mobile browser without an app. An optional account gives regular volunteers one place to view upcoming assignments and manage their preferences. Learn more about volunteer accounts and mobile access.
Can we connect Unison to our organization's website?: Yes. Share a link to your volunteer signups from your website, or use Pro to embed a page listing your volunteer opportunities directly on your site. This gives visitors a familiar place to discover ways to help and sign up.
What support will we receive?: Our U.S.-based team offers free, unlimited support, with both email and phone support included in Pro. You'll also find step-by-step guides and videos to help you get started and make the most of Unison as your volunteer program grows.
How much does Unison's volunteer management software cost?: Unison Pro has custom pricing based on your organization's needs. We take time to understand your volunteer program and recommend a plan that fits your needs and budget. Contact us to talk through what you're looking for and get a personalized quote.
