Every community group runs on the same handful of people saying yes. VolunTeam gives you one page volunteers can sign up on, automatic reminders before every shift, and a record of who helped and for how long — whether you're running a school fete, a weekly op shop or a Scout hall.
A starting point only — name your own shifts, times and slot counts to match how your group actually runs.

Most groups run their roster on a shared spreadsheet, a paper sheet on the noticeboard, or a thread nobody can scroll back through. VolunTeam replaces all three with one link. People see what's still open, claim a spot, and get reminded before the day.
Some jobs are one-off — a fete, a working bee, a carnival. Others are the same shift every week for a year. VolunTeam handles both: post individual shifts with times, or set up season-long positions that quietly accrue hours for the people holding them.
Logged hours roll up per person and per period. Export them to CSV for a grant acquittal, an insurance return or an AGM report, and issue volunteers a certificate showing the hours they gave.
Yes. Roles, shifts and rosters are generic. Anything with a name, a time and a number of people needed works the same way, whether that's a canteen shift or a Saturday morning at the op shop.
No. They can sign up for a shift straight from your public page with just a name, email and mobile. Creating a login is optional and lets them manage shifts across every group they help at.
