Volunteer Records for NGOs and Trusts

Volunteers carry a good part of the work at most trusts, from a weekend tuition slot to a camp duty. This module keeps who they are and what they did.

What a volunteer record holds

Each profile is short, and most of it is filled once at joining.

Person and contact

Name, phone number, locality, occupation and emergency contact. A student volunteer can carry the college and the department. Nothing more is asked for.

Skills and interest

Teaching, medical, accounts, translation, driving, photography or event help, and the programme the person wants to be near.

Availability

Weekday evenings, weekends only, festival weeks or on call for relief work. Duty rosters are drawn from this.

Papers held

Identity proof, a signed undertaking, or any verification the trust asks for, with its date. What is required is the trust’s own rule.

Duty and hours

A volunteer is put on a session, a camp, a drive or an office task, and the activity entry names them. Hours then total by volunteer, by programme and by month, without anyone keeping a separate attendance note. Anyone who stops coming shows on the inactive list. Certificates and letters of appreciation are printed from the same record where the trust issues them.

Who uses it

Volunteer coordinator

Adds new volunteers, draws the roster for a camp, and calls those who have gone quiet. The camp roster changes weekly.

Programme and field staff

See which volunteers are on duty at their centre this week, and record who actually turned up.

Trustees

Read volunteer strength and hours contributed by programme, which often goes into the annual report. A trust leaning on weekend volunteers for its tuition centres can see how many of them actually came through the whole term.

What the trust decides

Volunteer screening is a decision for the trust, and this module does not carry out any check. It stores whichever papers and dates the trust says it wants held.

  • Which papers a volunteer must give before duty is allotted
  • Whether volunteers may enter their own availability
  • How a volunteer working with children is screened
  • Whether hours are counted from the roster or from the attendance marked
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can a volunteer log in and see their own duty?

Yes, where the trust wants that. A limited login shows the roster and the hours recorded against that person, and nothing else about other volunteers or beneficiaries.

Are volunteers kept separate from staff?

Yes. Volunteer records sit apart from employee records, though both can be put on the same camp duty.

Does it verify police or background checks?

No. The module stores the paper and its date, and any verification is arranged by the trust itself.
