Volunteers
Volunteer scheduling with no login for the people you invite
Volunteers give you their time, not their patience for another account. Propose the times you need covered, share one link, and see which slot most people can make.
How to schedule volunteers
- 1
Propose the slots you need covered
Add each shift or meeting at its real length. Offering a realistic set, rather than an open question about availability, is what turns vague goodwill into a confirmed slot.
- 2
Share one link through every channel
Email list, WhatsApp group, Facebook page or a printed QR code all point at the same poll. Volunteers respond in seconds with no account and no app.
- 3
Collect Yes, Maybe and No
Maybe reflects reality for volunteers whose paid work or family commitments may move. You can see whether a slot is covered on confirmed answers alone.
- 4
Lock the slot and confirm
Lock the winning time, export it to calendars, and everyone gets the location or video link with the invite so nobody turns up at the wrong place.
Why this fits volunteer groups
- Zero friction for the people you are asking a favour of: open link, tap, done.
- You can see coverage per slot, so you know whether to recruit more people before the date rather than on the day.
- Works for people who are not in any shared calendar, mailing system or membership database.
- Volunteers abroad or travelling see every proposed time in their own time zone.
- Free with no ads, which matters when the poll represents your organization.
Ready to put this into a poll?
Tap a few times, share one link, and let the group vote. Most groups have the time settled the same day.

Volunteer scheduling questions
Do volunteers need an account?
No. They open the link, enter their name and vote. Only the organizer signs in, which lets them manage the poll afterwards.
Can I use it for shift sign-ups?
Yes. Create one option per shift and volunteers mark which they can cover. The live count shows which shifts are still short.
Is it free for non-profits?
Yes. Creating polls is free and the volunteers you invite never pay.
Can I see who has not responded?
The poll lists every response as it arrives, so you can follow up with the specific people still missing rather than messaging everyone again.
Can I add a location or meeting link?
Yes. Add the address or a video link when creating the poll and it travels into the calendar invite once the slot is locked.
