Volunteer scheduling

Fill next Sunday’s schedule without the email chain.

Plan a month of serving at a glance. Volunteers confirm or decline from an email link with no login, and a decline reaches the team’s leaders right away.

Highlights

Ministries, teams, positions

A ministry holds teams, a team defines positions, and a plan is one dated service. A wizard sets up a new area in a few minutes.

A matrix for the whole month

Click a cell to assign someone. The site warns when a person is already booked that day or has a blockout.

Confirm or decline by email

Each assignment sends a single-use link. No sign-in needed, and a decline emails the team’s leaders immediately.

Blockouts and open slots

Volunteers mark single days, ranges, or repeating dates away, and claim open slots themselves.

Reminders and a weekly digest

Unconfirmed volunteers get a reminder before their service, and everyone gets a weekly list of their serving.

Gifts quiz and applications

A 40-statement spiritual gifts quiz recommends ministries, and an opportunity board lets anyone apply to an open team.

Serving that fits around real life

Each volunteer has a personal schedule, a month calendar, and a private subscribe link for Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook, so serving dates sit next to everything else.

Help people find where they fit

People who are unsure where to serve can take the gifts quiz. Results highlight their top gifts and suggest ministries they can add to their interests, so leaders know they are open.

The leader’s main tool

Plans run down one axis and positions across the other, so a leader can see every gap in a month at once. Generate future plans in one step, copied forward week by week, up to about a year ahead.

Good to know

  • Scheduling is per position on dated plans. There is no automatic rotation that assigns people for you.
  • Reminder, digest, and confirmation emails need an email setup when deployed. On your own computer they print to the terminal.
  • There is no SMS messaging.
