Our Volunteering tool lets you add and manage volunteer records for a contact quickly and easily. When you use this tool, you can keep your volunteer records up to date and find out how volunteers are contributing to your organization.
Review and log volunteer records for a contact by clicking on Contacts in the left sidebar of your screen, finding the contact you want, and selecting the Volunteering tab under the Contacts title bar.
Here, you will see a record of volunteer hours and tasks, as well as the activity, target area, campaign, and source for that time.
