“INVOLVE has been a game-changer for me in my position as a Community Engagement Coordinator. Prior to using INVOLVE, I didn’t have a software platform for registering volunteers, marketing events or tracking KPIs – I did it all manually on Excel. INVOLVE literally has cut the time in half that I spend signing up volunteers and tracking their time. I have seen an increase in participation, communication and excitement among volunteers since incorporating the system. As an added bonus, it keeps users plugged in to what other organizations are doing in the community. I highly recommend using the INVOLVE platform!”
