On the heels of its very successful community engagement campaign, entitled “Summer of Service – Northern Nevada”, NPcatalyst announces that it has added YourVolunteers to its network of preferred vendors. “YourVolunteers is a powerful tool for volunteer management and offers non-profit organizations with an outstanding resource to succeed,” says Pete Parker, managing director of NPcatalyst.
Based in Reno, Nevada, YourVolunteers was created by Primary Key Technologies, Inc. in Reno, Nevada. Primary Key Technologies, Inc. was founded in 2002 to provide software and database development services to organizations of all types and sizes. YourVolunteers provides more than just a well-developed volunteer scheduler. For organizations which manage their volunteers with a spreadsheet, a paper calendar or with just a big stack of paper, YourVolunteers can save countless hours. Most systems just allow you to enter tasks where you’ll need volunteers, and then volunteers select these from a list. The YourVolunteers system helps you to find the right people quickly and without having to go through a big stack of paper.
One step further, the system acts as an assistant by allowing volunteer managers recognize the real-time status of volunteer assignments and it helps select the perfect people for a task. “You’ll be able to give your volunteers a good idea of what they’ll be doing, who they’ll contact, and they’ll always have a place to view their schedules as they change”, says John Wagoner, president of Primary Key Technologies. He adds, “organizations will save a lot of time and staff costs since it’s designed to enable volunteers to input their own contact information, select their availabilities and interest areas, and then choose from a list of tasks that match.”
Non-profit leaders looking to bolster their volunteer management efforts are invited to contact either John at Primary Key Technologies (www.yourvolunteers.com) or Pete from NPcatalyst (www.npcatalyst.com) to learn more.
