Despite widespread recognition of the immense value of volunteering, the process of managing volunteers effectively can be challenging.

Why Volunteer?

What do you gain from volunteering? While you are probably aware of the incredible value  volunteering provides to society, people in need and important causes, what may be surprising is that the act of volunteering has plenty of benefits for volunteers too. 

Volunteering is a two-way street that provides benefits to both the organization and the volunteer. It is an instrumental force in promoting positive and sustainable growth within communities, while increasing social connections, improving mental and physical health and improving employability for volunteers.

Finding volunteer opportunities is one thing. Finding opportunities that are nearby is another thing altogether. At Rosterfy we understand that limiting the boundaries to volunteering is integral for any successful volunteer management program. With that said, meet your new best friend.

Volunteers are considered the backbone of communities, providing a platform for people of all ages and backgrounds to give back to events and causes that they are passionate about.

Conferences play an important role for many organizations, providing a great opportunity for like-minded people to come together and learn from one another. With slashed budgets and reduced headcounts as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, volunteers are set to play a pivotal role in the delivery of events as organizations lean on volunteers to supplement the reduction in resources. 

Whether you’re a small charity or a large event, running background checks for volunteers is an important part of managing your volunteers and is integral to keeping communities safe.
