Ability to track volunteer hours
We are a swim club:
It would be fabulous if we could have members submit their volunteer hours on the website. Once approved (yes, they were there) by event organizer, the total volunteer hours would be tracked with their membership info. The administrator could query how many volunteer hours each member has put in.
We require that each family donate 40 hours to the club per year or pay a higher membership fee.

Tracking volunteers and a system for scheduling volunteers through the wa membership software would be fantastic. Keeping track of this is crucial for grant applications etc. A easy system to add volunteer opportunities to within wa where members can sign up for jobs is ideal. reporting on this and the hours volunteered would make my life so much simpler. Please add these features!

Ditto. It would be awesome to allow self tracking of volunteering via WA

Our non-profit (to support public library) had just started a subscription to WA to coordinate our memberships, donations and website all with one system and then COVID hit and all was shut down. However, one of the main things lacking that we REALLY needed was the ability to track volunteer hours so that we could recognize their work and provide reports to the library as to # of hours we assisted. PLEASE PLEASE add a way to track volunteer hours so that once we get back to work we can sign up again for your (otherwise) very useful product. Thanks.

Any update on if this feature has been added to track volunteer hours? That is the one feature we need that is stopping us from using this software.

All Pball clubs run with volunteers. Motivating people to volunteer is hard.
Time, hassles, inflexibility, etc. Volunteering must have value added: recognition, rewards, fairness. A system whereby I can record my volunteer hours. A club policy : you must volunteer 50 hours per year.
Membership gets you court discounts. I need to record my hours, audited, summarized, published. -

We would like to offer our members a discount if they volunteer a certain number of hours a year and we are looking at a way to manage and track these hours. This would be a very helpful feature.

Bearing in mind Wild Apricot recommend several volunteer hour tracking tools (such as trackitforward), it seems sensible to somehow integrate the tools so members logged into WildApricot don't have to log in to a separate tool to log hours via the embedded widget. One log-in should be sufficient. (Unless Wild Apricot install a volunteer hour tracking tool itself!)

YES! I would absolutely appreciate the ability to track my volunteers hours on ONE website.

YES, YES, YES!!! We, too, are using SignUp Genius. Have to export a volunteers list from WA, import to SUG, set up all the time slots and tasks, and fully manage from outside WA. To use an image we have to submit it and get it approved, which is cumbersome and more time-consuming. On top of that, we have to put up with advertising on our signups for the free version.
Desperately want the functionality within WA so it will always have the current volunteer list on hand and members can self-signup. Need to print the final signup sheet to take to the event. The beauty of a volunteer module is that we not only can send out the announcement to sign up, but we can send a well-deserved thank you email to the group for all their efforts.

Volunteer hours tracking where volunteers can enter their own!

We currently are not able to identify members who are also volunteering and list their roles and activity. Ability to do this as well as run reports based on volunteer role and/or activity would be a great feature as this is currently a very manual process.

Critical must-have functionality for most clubs or associations. In our case volunteer hours are required as part of a membership.

This feature would be very helpful to our organization. Tracking volunteer hours by project/event and by member is much needed to show the impact our organization has on the community through the service we provide. Our club is only 80 members and last year, we reported over 22,900 hours manually through a spreassheet, which is very labor intensive. I'm sure we had more hours if only there was a better way to track them electronically.

Our members also are required to do volunteer hours in exchange for some of the benefits they receive. We track on a calendar year basis and there are a multitude of opportunities, which events could easily handle, we simply need to verify attendance and be able to calculate either in real time or via a report. It would be great to be able to email the member an update on their status once a quarter.

we need a volunteer hours tracking system desperately that ties to the member accounts. we keep track of all of our member volunteer hours and it would be wonderful if we could incorporate this into wild apricot to help with member recognition of time dedicated to the cause. needs to be able to tie to a specific event and also back to the individual member - broken down in WHOLE hours. the event could have a place for volunteer signup and also once signed up, actual time reporting with ability to create and export meaningful reports at the end of the event.

This is a feature that would be extremely useful in our organization!
We are an art society and each member must volunteer at least 20 hours per year to show their art. It would be great if they could track it online on our WA site. Grant funding is also based on total membership volunteer hours, so being able to create summary reports would be fantastic!!

Merged into existing thread. You're speaking about tracking hours, aren't you? Correct me, if I'm wrong - I will move it to another place
