A volunteer check-in app that keeps the welcome table moving

  • Exports a clean contact list
Volunteer entering contact details in MemberMaker

Less clipboard coordination

Give coordinators a cleaner volunteer record

The check-in process should support the service work, not become another task for the people running it.

Volunteer arrivals happen all at once

A guided station lets people enter their own details while coordinators focus on assignments and the work ahead.

Paper rosters become incomplete

Handwriting, missing phone numbers, and pages held by different team leads make later communication harder.

Recurring volunteers deserve context

Visit records help the organization recognize people who keep returning across shifts and events.

Volunteer reviewing contact information before check-in

A repeatable arrival flow

Use the same three-step process for every volunteer day

MemberMaker handles the contact and visit record while your team handles orientation, assignments, and support.

  1. Create the program or eventUse a clear organization name for the food drive, cleanup, fundraiser, or recurring volunteer program.
  2. Check volunteers in at arrivalPlace the device near orientation or assignment pickup and let each person follow the same prompts.
  3. Review and export afterwardUse the digital list for attendance review, appreciation, and future volunteer communication.
