Voluntas is a Volunteer Management System designed to simplify and digitize the volunteer application process for K-12 schools and districts. It benefits schools by streamlining administrative tasks, enhancing security, and increasing volunteer engagement, while making it easier for volunteers to apply, complete background checks, and participate in school activities.

Voluntas streamlines the process by providing an online application and dashboard for volunteers, automating background checks, and giving administrators an easy-to-use interface to manage and track volunteer activities. This reduces paperwork and administrative workload, while expediting volunteer onboarding.

Voluntas can work with your existing background checks, but we offer comprehensive and customizable background checks, including Address History Trace, County searches and AKAs, National Sex Offender search, and Nationwide Criminal record checks. This ensures a secure environment for students and peace of mind for administrators.

Voluntas allows administrators to set unique requirements and checks for specific activities or events, ensuring that volunteers have the necessary qualifications for each role. Customizable requirements can be easily added and managed within the platform.

While Voluntas doesn’t directly integrate with other school systems yet, it allows for easy data export for upload to other systems. It can also link the school’s VMS landing page to their current homepage for seamless user experience.

Voluntas helps track volunteer hours, participation, and feedback through its built-in reporting and analytics features. Administrators can easily monitor volunteer activities, evaluate program effectiveness, and generate reports for regulatory or funding purposes.

Voluntas offers mass messaging capabilities that enable schools and districts to communicate efficiently with volunteers, send updates, and coordinate events seamlessly. This ensures timely communication and helps keep volunteers engaged and informed.
