## Reviews

### "International Convention Review" — 5.0/5

> **Philippa** | *June 11, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Really easy to learn and set up my event and corresponding shifts.Support was easy to access and responsive. I needed a specialty report and the VolunteerLocal Support person quickly provided me a Google Spreadsheet that gave me exactly what I needed and taught me how to do it myself.
> 
> **Cons**: A couple of minor suggestions. I needed to capture of summary of tshirt size AND hat size. I would have liked to see both on my dashboard.
> 
> I found VolunteerLocal to be responsive and quick to deal with questions and they focused on resolutions.

### "RunSport TC10K" — 5.0/5

> **Mariah** | *April 30, 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: How easy it was to use and how it helped us better manage volunteer groups and communication.
> 
> **Cons**: Having to go through each email draft in order to see the one I was looking for was a bit frustrating. It would be nice if you could search the title rather than scroll through each one to look for it.
> 
> Great\! The staff is amazing. We worked with \[sensitive content hidden\]&#10; and she is fantastic.

### "Tempe Diablos Review" — 5.0/5

> **Douglas** | *January 16, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I’ve been very impressed with the value VolunteerLocal provides relative to the cost. The tiered pricing model is a huge plus—it allows us to pay exactly for what we need without getting locked into expensive features we won't use.
> 
> **Cons**: The only significant downside I encountered was the data migration process. Getting our existing data into the system from our previous platform was a challenge. If you are starting from scratch, the setup is seamless, but be prepared for some friction if you are moving over a large database.
> 
> The support team completely makes up for it. Specifically, \[sensitive content hidden\]&#10; was incredible during our training and onboarding. She helped us navigate the initial hurdles and ensured we knew exactly how to get the most out of the system.

### "Shift Reminders Through Text & New Jobs" — 4.0/5

> **Lindsay** | *May 6, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked working with \[sensitive content hidden\] because she was able to diagnose my problem quickly and present fast and efficient solutions.
> 
> **Cons**: There was nothing that I didn't like, but what I struggled a bit with was that our use of the site might need to have some large changes in order to make quick fixes. The way we have our programs and events set up allow for some capabilities but act as an obstacle for others.
> 
> I appreciated that my feedback was valued and that \[sensitive content hidden\] at VL was able to walk me through our processes and any concerns that I may have had. She was thorough and considerate of our experience.

### "Thank you for your amazing customer service" — 5.0/5

> **Debra Buttler** | *February 13, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: That the consultants help this novice with EVERYTHING with a much more cheerful attitude than my younger family members\!
> 
> **Cons**: Adding photos and documents should be just as easy as on Word. &#10;I would like a simple table of contents for each problem people encounter, click on it, receive solution (especially for those who have trouble remembering - the elderly volunteer coordinators)\!
> 
> EXCELLENT&#10;Personal &#10;Supportive&#10;Encouraging&#10;Positive&#10;Friendly&#10;Informative&#10;Sensational&#10;Good sense of humor&#10;Intuiutive
