Volunteer arrivals happen all at once
A guided station lets people enter their own details while coordinators stay focused on orientation, assignments, and the work ahead.
For nonprofits, events, and service programs
A simpler volunteer sign-in and checkout app
Turn an iPad, iPhone, or Android device into a self-service volunteer sign-in station. Collect the right details, track repeat attendance, and optionally record checkout and visit duration.
Choose how you want to start
Create your organization on the web, or install the kiosk app on an iPad, iPhone, or Android device.- Free web account to get started
- Optional volunteer checkout
- Live attendance and CSV export
Less clipboard coordination
Know who arrived without rebuilding the roster later
The check-in process should support the service work, not become another task for the people running it.
Paper cannot show who is still checked in
Optional checkout creates a clearer operational record of arrivals, departures, and visit duration without maintaining a second roster.
Recurring volunteers deserve context
Visit history helps the organization recognize returning volunteers and keep attendance details together across service days.
A complete attendance record
From volunteer arrival to a useful visit history
Collect only the details your program needs, optionally record checkout, and follow attendance from the live dashboard without turning check-in into a complicated volunteer-management system.
Ask the right questions
Choose email or phone as the volunteer identifier and add reusable prompts for interests, teams, programs, or orientation needs.
Make checkout automatic
Set a checkout window. A volunteer who enters the same identifier again can close the open visit without answering the full form twice.
Review attendance live
See arrivals and departures appear without refreshing, check the current count, and open visit history for status and duration.

A repeatable attendance flow
Use the same three-step process for every volunteer day
MemberMaker handles the attendance record while your team handles orientation, assignments, and support.

- Let volunteers check themselves in and outPlace the device near orientation or assignment pickup. When checkout is enabled, returning within the window with the same identifier records departure.
- Review the attendance recordSee live arrivals, current checked-in count, visit status and duration, then export the records for your approved follow-up workflow.

Common questions
Volunteer check-in and checkout FAQ
Can MemberMaker track repeat volunteers?
Yes. New visits can be associated with an existing person, helping coordinators recognize volunteers who return across programs and events.
Can volunteers check themselves out?
Yes. Checkout is optional. When enabled, a volunteer enters the same email or phone again within your configured window and MemberMaker closes the open visit without repeating the full form.
Does visit duration verify service hours?
No. Check-in, checkout, and duration provide an operational attendance record. They are not a certification or approval system for verified service hours.
Does MemberMaker schedule volunteer shifts?
No. Continue using your scheduling system for shifts, assignments, reminders, recruitment, and capacity.
Can volunteers check themselves in?
Yes. Put a phone or tablet at the arrival table in fullscreen mode and direct volunteers through the guided sequence.
Can we export volunteer attendance?
Yes. Export contact details, check-in and checkout times, status, and duration to CSV for an approved spreadsheet or volunteer workflow.
