What are our current clients saying?

We have had an over-whelming response from our parent community to the app.  It has enabled us to increase our parent engagement and tap into the talents of our community, especially during this pandemic.

Tanya Salewski
Principal, St. Luke Catholic School

We love the ability to have all volunteering needs in one spot, in a secure location, and easily accessible by our parent community.  Our parents love the Catholic nature of it, especially the cute saint avatars and the prayer board!

Catholic K-8 Schools

Welcome to the
New Way of
Volunteering

It's so Easy!

There's no need for long implementations, expensive training seminars, and tedious processes to get users on-board. Follow these simple steps and your off to the races!
Select School
Set-up Profile
Add your brand
Invite community
#1 - Select Your School

Start typing your school name, and it will likely appear in our menu selection. Once you choose your school, simply verify the school's address and you're off to the next step!

#2 Set-up Profile

The person that registers the school will now be considered the primary "Leader" of the app. This means you will have the ability to see community-level reports and to make any potential adjustments to user points as needed. In addition, you get to tailor the app towards your brand and kick-off the invitations to your school community.

#3 - Add Your Brand

This is a great opportunity for the school to showcase its innovation. The app is meant to be YOUR app center for the school community. We make it simple to upload your logo, a header image, and to select a few colors from your color scheme. Once you save, you will instantly see the change.

The overall app look-and-feel and the app-generated emails will represent your brand identity. This will assuredly impress the parents and provide a sense of pride to the school community.

#4 - Invite Community

Time to get the invitations out to folks! Click the "invite user" button and simply provide three main pieces of information for each user:

1. Name and Email
2. Role (Creator or User)
3. Eligibility Criteria Indicator

For role, the "creator" is one that can create events. You may want everyone to have the ability or just a select few (such as teachers, room parents, and your Parent Group). For "eligibility," this refers to those in your community that have either satisfied or not satisfied your policy for being eligible to volunteer at the school with children. At the "Community" tab, you will be able to see which members have accepted the invitation.
