Roster for volunteers

Online volunteers roster

ShiftPlanner is a online planning tool that makes scheduling volunteers easy. With an account, the administrator simply puts the shifts in the roster and invites volunteers to register themselfs for shifts. Swapping shifts between them is simple.

With many advantages such as handy overviews, automatic reminders and links to a calendar, ShiftPlanner saves you a lot of time.

Do you always want an up-to-date schedule with an overview of your open hours? Try ShiftPlanner the first year for free.

It's fun to be a coordinator with ShiftPlanner!

The relationship between coordinator and the volunteer is different from that of the employee and therefore uses a different approach. We regard volunteers as heroes. The tone in the application is different and in addition you can customize certain text blocks to better suit your organization.
