About

Who we are

Volunteers are one of the most valuable assets, and because of that we need effective application management systems.

Volunteer-Me is an innovative platform designed to streamline and simplify volunteer application management for large associations. We help organizations handle high volumes of applications efficiently, ensuring that the right volunteers are placed in the right roles—quickly and effectively.

Our Mission

We believe that volunteering should be impactful and accessible. By reducing administrative burdens, Volunteer-Me allows associations to focus on their mission—empowering communities, advancing research, and creating real change.

Who we help

We work with associations that rely on volunteers to make a difference. If you are an Association struggling selecting volunteer for your committees, Volunteer-Me can help you cut administrative time and improve volunteer experiences.

Why Volunteer-Me

✅ Effortless Application Tracking – Automate and manage volunteer applications in one centralized system.

✅ Data-Driven Decision Making – Gain real-time insights to optimize recruitment, engagement, and retention.

✅ Seamless Collaboration – Standardize processes across multiple committees for a faster review cycle.

Configuration over customization

Our goal is to have a platform we can go live within two weeks. To reach that goal we are focused on building out features that are fully configurable – avoiding any one-off customizations. 

API First

Everything in the platform is built off the API. So any data your association needs to get or insert into the platform, if there is a way to do it in the user interface, there is a way to do it via the API.

SSO & Integration

Associations often end up with data silos, but Volunteer Me© won’t be one of them. Built to support SSO to pull in customer information when they apply and to push back committee members to your AMS or CRM once selected, we can build an integration to ensure our data feeds back into your system of record.

Email Engine

Business still runs off email, so our system is built to support both automated and scheduled notifications. No need to export lists into marketing tools, all that content can be sent directly from Volunteer Me©.

System Agnostic

Built from the ground up on the latest technology, Volunteer Me© can connect with any AMS or CRM solution. This makes it the perfect complement to any tech stack you have in place.
