Built for the organizations doing the work
Everything you need to run a volunteer program
Recruiting, scheduling, hours, records, and communication in one system — instead of a signup form, a spreadsheet, and a group email.
A public page that does the asking
Every organization gets a branded landing page and an embeddable signup widget — no website or web developer required.
Shifts that fill themselves
Set capacity per shift and let volunteers claim slots. Full shifts close on their own, so you stop counting heads by email.
Approve hours in one click
Volunteers log time, you approve it, and verified totals flow straight to the schools and referring organizations that asked for them.
One record per volunteer
Contact details, tags, availability, notes, and complete hour history in a single profile — not spread across four spreadsheets.
Reach the right people at once
Build an audience from your own tags and send an email campaign to exactly the volunteers who can cover the shift.
Paperwork handled up front
Collect waivers, clearances, and custom signup questions before the first shift, and keep every document on the volunteer record.
From posted opportunity to verified hours
Three steps to a program that runs itself — and a record you can report on at the end of the year.
01
Set up your organization
Create a free account, add your organization, and your public page goes live in minutes.
02
Post opportunities and shifts
Add dates, capacity, and requirements. Every listing publishes to your page and to the Step Up directory at the same time.
03
Manage signups and verify hours
Signups land in your dashboard. Approve attendance and hours, and the record stays with the volunteer for good.
Your opportunities, listed where volunteers are already looking
Step Up runs a public, searchable directory of verified volunteer opportunities. Everything you publish appears there automatically — no second listing to maintain, no posting fee, no extra work.
Volunteers filter by cause, hours, date, and location — so the people who reach you can actually do the work.
Flags for students and court-ordered service surface the volunteers you are set up to take.
Every organization gets its own directory page and a shareable link for social posts and newsletters.
Signups from the directory arrive in the same dashboard as the rest of your program.
Whether you host volunteers or send them out
Host organizations recruit and schedule. Referring organizations track their members' hours across every site they serve. Both are free.
Host organizations
You take volunteers on site and need to recruit them, schedule them, and keep the program organized.
Referring organizations
You send members out to volunteer and need their hours tracked and verified across every site they serve.
