A simple, free way to keep track of your nonprofit’s volunteers and opportunities.

How can the Wired Impact Volunteer Management plugin help your nonprofit?

Post one-time and flexible volunteer opportunities on your website – Promote volunteer opportunities on any page of your website using a simple block or shortcode.
Volunteers can sign up directly on your website – Make volunteering even easier for your supporters by giving them the option to sign up for an opportunity directly on your website. A confirmation email will be sent to you and the volunteer once they sign up.
Control the number of signups available for opportunities – Only need 10 people to help out at an event? Set a cap on the number of people who can sign up. Want as many volunteers as you can get? No problem. You don’t have to set a cap.
Send reminder emails anytime – Schedule an automated reminder email three days in advance or send even hours before the opportunity for last-minute details.
Volunteer profiles that track participation and more – Keep track of all of your volunteers’ involvement. See what they’ve helped out with, how long they’ve been helping and add notes that will help you stay organized.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

How do I get started?

Once you’ve downloaded the plugin, you’ll want to adjust the settings to fit your specific needs. You can do this by visiting the Volunteer Management menu and clicking “Help & Settings”. Here, you can choose to include our styles, set a default contact and location for volunteer opportunities, pick your default form settings and create a template for your confirmation and reminder emails.

How do I create a new volunteer opportunity?

In the Volunteer Management menu, click “Opportunities”
On the Opportunities page, click “Add Volunteer Opportunity”
Fill in all of the information fields
Click the blue “Publish” button

How do I display a list of volunteer opportunities on my website?

If you’re using the classic editor (WordPress 4.9 or earlier), you can display the opportunities by including the following shortcodes in the page content: [one_time_volunteer_opps] (for one-time opportunities), [flexible_volunteer_opps] (for flexible opportunities)

If you’re using the block editor (WordPress 5.0 or later), you can display the opportunities by adding the Volunteer Opportunities block to your page content. Once added, you can use the block’s toolbar to display one-time or flexible opportunities.

It’s important to note, you can’t display a list of both types of opportunities on the same page. Please list either one-time or flexible opportunities on a page.

What is the difference between the two types of opportunities?

One-time volunteer opportunities happen at a fixed date and time. One example might be a yearly trivia night fundraiser.

Flexible volunteer opportunities can happen on different days and times. One example might be weekly tutoring. Another example could be looking for a volunteer to help with your social media or blog.

How do I add a volunteer to our database?

You can’t manually add a volunteer to the database. Volunteers appear in the database after signing up for an opportunity.

How do I add notes about a volunteer?

In the Volunteer Management menu, click “Volunteers”
Click the name of the volunteer you’d like to add a note about
Click “Edit Volunteer Info”
Scroll to the bottom of the page to the Notes section
Add or edit any notes
Click “Update User” to save any changes

How do I remove a volunteer from a specific opportunity?

If a volunteer is no longer able to help out at a specific opportunity, you can remove them from the signup list.

Click “Opportunities” from the Volunteer Management menu
Find the opportunity you need to remove the volunteer from
Click the opportunity to edit
Scroll down to the RSVP list, find the volunteer’s name and click “Remove RSVP”
Confirm their removal by clicking the blue “Remove RSVP” button

How do I create a recurring opportunity?

If you have a recurring opportunity where different people will sign up each time, we recommend creating a one-time opportunity for each date and time. That will allow you to track the RSVPs separately.

If the recurring opportunity will have the same volunteers each time, we’d recommend you create one flexible volunteer opportunity.

How can I adjust the built-in volunteer signup form?

There are three options for handling volunteer signups within the plugin:

Use the built-in volunteer signup form which includes name, email and phone number fields. This form can be modified, but only through code using the PHP template files included inside the plugin.
Choose the option not to show a form, then manually embed a third-party form within the content of each volunteer opportunity.
If you’re utilizing the Gravity Forms plugin, you can show a form you’ve built within your volunteer opportunities.

You’ll find default settings outlining how to handle forms within the Help & Settings page. You can also modify how forms are handled when editing each individual volunteer opportunity.

Hi together,I have to change the basic form from your plugin. Now I have a really important question about the security 🙂 Is your form really safe against SQL injection, attacks and so on?Regards Mia

And I doubt they will ever be implemented. Some of them that were suggested over 4 years ago have not been added, despite the author acknowledging their usefulness and were "high on our radar". I expect I'll be referred to other plugins as other reviewers were, so this review is mostly to alert potential users to this plugin's important shortcomings, rather than a [likely] fruitless appeal to disinterested devs. One of the missing features is a time slot selector for the volunteer to choose their desired time of service. Going hand in hand with this would be specificity in the volunteer limit – i.e., the front page should inform the potential volunteer of how many volunteer slots are available for all times as set by the admin. The absence of this basic functionality results in unnecessary delays and extra effort from everyone involved. The volunteer signs up, the admin/organizer is notified, the admin/organizer must then contact the volunteer to ascertain when they're available, the volunteer must then contact the admin/organizer to inform them if available/interested. Actually, the admin/organizer would probably need to contact just about ALL the volunteers individually in some cases. What if a volunteer can only serve at say 3pm for an all-afternoon event. Another volunteer has claimed 3pm but is flexible and other time slots are empty. Volunteer #2 is willing to serve at a different time so volunteer #1 can take #2's slot. So on and so forth until agreements can be reached, if at all. This can be a massive waste of time and effort, especially if it ultimately turns out the volunteer(s) can't/won't serve after all. All of that can be remedied with just 2 elements on the sign up page: a "remaining slots open" status notice (per time options set by admin) and a "I'm available at these times" multi-select dropdown on the sign up page. The plugin would automatically shift time assignments around to eliminate empty slots, all without further effort/input from any volunteers or the admin. No fuss. No muss. Boom. Scheduling resolved in seconds. There should also be an option for users to edit/delete their "pledge" (not that they would necessarily bother returning just to cancel; common courtesy is rare these days). Users are assigned the role "Volunteer" when they sign up, so integration with member plugins such as Ultimate Member would be perfect. Or, at least there should be hooks so we can do it with our own functions. Creating a separate UM form just for volunteers is easy, but we'd still need to hook into profile edits (we'd need the "I'm available at these times" dropdown there as well). +1 on the suggestion of a calendar format. Much enhanced aesthetics and functional layout. As to complexity, these things add very little to the admin panel and front end pages. The learning curve remains insignificant. The UX is greatly enhanced and page display remains minimal.

My client has a few volunteer positions each year but only a very small team to recruit and manage them. Wired Impact Volunteer Management has made it so easy for them to organise things. I've used this plugin on previous versions of their site without any issue but this was the first time I had a problem. Support was swift and effective, extremely helpful, beyond expectation. Highly recommended.

This plugin does a great job of allowing us to publicise our volunteer needs and the support was good when I had a small development request, allowing me to customise the listings with just a small amount of additional PHP and CSS
