The Volunteer Journey on Vome Volunteer: From Recruitment to Recognition

Vome Volunteer provides a seamless and efficient volunteer management experience for both administrators and volunteers. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of the typical volunteer journey on the platform.

1. Recruitment & Application (Forms)

Organizations recruit volunteers by sharing public opportunity links or embedding application forms on their websites. Volunteers can browse available opportunities and apply by completing a streamlined application form.

Idea
Admins can leverage many automation options embedded in their form.
  1. Automations on the question-answer level for single or multi selection questions
  2. Automations on the form submission level

2. Screening & Onboarding (Forms + Sequences)

Admins can review applications, assign volunteers next steps, and conduct background checks from a user's profile if necessary. Once a form is submitted, volunteers gain access to the organization's private portal to view whatever is displayed on the org info page (typically, an application form and features opportunities).

Once screened, an admin will assign the user to an onboarding process (i.e. Sequence) if relevant. Otherwise, the admin will either assign opportunities to give the suer the ability to reserve shifts within their assigned opportunities or assign shifts directly if the admin already knows the user's recurring schedule.
