Common questions about Volunteer Matrix

How is Volunteer Matrix different from generic scheduling tools? Volunteer Matrix is extremely flexible and supports one time volunteers as well as recurring, long-term volunteer programs with qualifications, roles, and real-world constraints. Other generic software treat volunteers like calendar appointments; we treat them like long-term relationships. Do we have to change the way we already schedule volunteers? Most likely, No. We start by modeling how you already run your program and then with our 25+ years experience, help you standardize where it makes sense. Most organizations start with one program/location and expand once staff and volunteers see the benefits.
