Event timelines don’t wait for software projects. MoonShot had five months to deliver the volunteer programme for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 and found Volunteero “very easy, simple, and quick to set up”. Most organisations go live within three weeks.

Build application forms with drag and drop, publish roles to your website and the Volunteero Marketplace, and route each applicant into the right onboarding journey automatically. At the FISU World University Games, more than 3,000 people applied in just a few months.

Assigning thousands of shifts by hand, or untangling automatic assignments, eats into the time you need for planning. With Volunteero, volunteers pick the shifts that fit their availability, within the rules you set. At the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, volunteers claimed more than 3,000 shifts themselves.

Self-selected shifts also show you who is really committed. If someone hasn’t claimed a shift, you know early and can plan around it.

  • Show each volunteer only the shifts for their venue or functional area

  • Restrict shifts by group or qualification, and set capacity limits

  • Calendar and agenda views, colour coded by uptake, so gaps stand out

Venue information, role guidance and last-minute changes need to reach volunteers fast. Volunteero combines in-app chat, group chats, newsfeeds and a knowledge hub, so volunteers find everything in one place instead of searching their inbox.

Your knowledge hub also trains Volunteero’s AI support chat, which answers questions around the clock. At the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, the AI assistant handled over 500 volunteer queries with a 90% satisfaction score.

  • Group chats for each venue or team

  • Read insights showing who has seen each update

  • Automated shift reminders by push notification or email

On the day, you need to know who is on site and who is missing. Volunteers check in and out in the app or by scanning a QR code, and kiosk mode turns any device, even a coordinator’s phone, into a check-in point. Attendance and hours feed straight into reporting.

Give trusted volunteers a group leader role so venue leads can assign shifts, check people in and see emergency contact details for their team, without full staff access.

Celebrate as you go. At the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, around 700 badges were awarded automatically and over 1,400 more were given by staff, so venue leads could recognise great work in real time. Learn more about volunteer recognition.

Fundraising events

Fundraising events

The Brain Tumour Charity coordinated volunteers for more than 20 events in 2024. Moving from email to instant messaging made volunteers quicker to respond, gave the team one consistent way to communicate, and 80% of volunteers now use the app every month.

Community events and festivals

Community events and festivals

Pride Cymru recruited and onboarded 153 volunteers with custom forms. Organising each volunteering activity now takes one hour instead of at least five, which saved around 20 hours of admin for their two-day weekend event.

Exports for team leaders

Exports for team leaders

Need a list for each area on the day? Export shifts, volunteers and form submissions to Excel at any time, so team leaders know exactly who to expect. Everything else stays live in the app, so last-minute changes are never lost.

Reporting after the event

Reporting after the event

Hours, attendance and feedback are captured as the event happens. Build custom insights dashboards for your debrief and funder reports, and send a built-in survey to hear what volunteers thought while the experience is fresh.
