 Check-in Kiosks

Kiosks allow your volunteers to check themselves in on your organization’s computer or tablet without an admin needing to be present. Volunteers search for their name and our smart system pulls up relevant volunteer opportunities for that day.

Create different color coded Check-in stations for different locations or volunteer programs depending on your needs.

Volunteer Self-Check-in via QR Code

Or, you can create a QR code for check-in to print or digitally share. Volunteers can scan this code to check themselves in on their own smartphones.

Common ways to use QR code Checkin:

QR codes are perfect for big events or outdoor volunteer activities. Print these codes with instructions and display them at Volunteer Tables.
Post QR codes with instructions on your Volunteer entrance doors so volunteers never miss check-in.
You can meet each volunteer at checkin, display a QR code on your phone and have a volunteer scan it.
Use QR code check-in for virtual volunteering. Add a QR code to a presentation and display it over Zoom.

Seamless Support for Walk-ins

Some volunteers will already be signed up for shifts, but you also have the option to register new volunteers or enable existing volunteers to sign up for new shifts on site. The Check-in Station lets you collect the information you need before volunteering, including waivers and custom fields, and then get them involved right away!

You’ll see these new volunteers and shifts in your Contacts, so it’s easy to welcome them into your organization.

Clock In and Clock Out

Check-in stations can also support flexible volunteering hours.

Clock Out for Events: If volunteers arrive and depart at different times than listed on the event, enable Clock Out for Events to get the most accurate hours. Volunteers will be asked to Clock out before leaving, which improves your data in under a minute.
Non-Event Hours: You can also configure your Check-in station so that volunteers can clock in and clock out at any time. This allows maximum flexibility while still making sure volunteers get credit for their work.

Admin Controls

Each check-in station is configurable to get exactly the data you need:

Volunteer display: Station name, color, and greeting.
Volunteer experience: Kiosk, QR Code, or Both.
Program support: If you know your check-in station will be used for a certain program, limit events and hours to that program.
New volunteer registration: Welcome new volunteers or stay with your current list.
Clock In/Clock Out: Get the most accurate hours by asking volunteers to clock out, or keep it simple by using shift length.

Create a group of check-in stations with different settings for customized support for your programs and sites.
