Manage events and sites, and empower your coordinators and volunteers.

Overview
This free template helps you build a custom volunteer management portal using your existing data, so you can move beyond spreadsheets and scattered emails.
It comes with a sample database to show you exactly how to structure your data for programs, volunteers, and events — but it’s flexible enough to use with any Softr-supported data source (Google Sheets, Notion, monday.com, HubSpot, and more).
