Volunteers begin as contacts.  When a user logs into RescueGroups.org and creates an account on your website for the first time, you may have added them automatically as a contact (this is an option for you on your website).  Here are some things you can do:

  • Ask potential volunteers to fill out an online form, such as a volunteer or a foster form
  • Give your volunteers access to certain tasks, such as adding animals
  • Add your volunteers to a group of contacts called, for instance, "Volunteers" or "Fosters" so that you can easily find the group you need
  • Keep track of what your volunteers do for you on the website
  • Reactivate their account if they were removed for inactivity
  • Set an option to have them receive a text or email when an application is filled out


  • No labels
