SignUpGenius

Great Program for Schools

Kommentare: SignUp Genius has been a tremendous asset for our school. We use it both for school events and for our parent organization, and it has been a great resource for coordinating volunteers and planning events. Some examples have included scheduling regular volunteers for single events, coordinating larger events (ex: Oktoberfest) which require a large number of volunteers serving in different capacities at different times, and allowing parents to sign up for parent teacher conference time slots. We've been very pleased that this has been a time saver for our school.

Vorteile:

SignUp Genius is a must-have for schools. Multiple design options allow us to customize sign-ups for a wide variety of events - from Parent- Teacher conferences, to coordinating parent volunteers, to planning community events. Flexible scheduling variables allow for a broad range of events - from volunteers at a single event, to on-going events. Easy to use and adapt to each unique event. This also allows you to easily copy or duplicate a past event, which is very helpful with events that happen monthly or yearly.

Nachteile:

It would be helpful if there was an easy way within the platform for volunteers to access multiple sign-ups that we have created at one time. We currently have to collect individual signup links and share them- but it would be useful to have a landing page for our organization where we could collect multiple events in one easy place.

Great tool for volunteer registration and engagement

Kommentare: It's a great tool when recruiting groups for an event. It keeps track of who is scheduled for which shift, if there are more than one, and provides reminders to volunteers in intervals--one week out, 2 days out and day-of. If you need to organize a group for a team effort, SignUp Genius makes it very easy to do.

Vorteile:

I really like the ease of use for my volunteers to sign up. I work with a lot of volunteers that are retired and don't spend lots of time on the computer, and it's very easy for them to sign up. They like that they don't have to create an account or provide any other information to sign up beyond their email address for reminders. We source volunteers about 14-16 times per year, and this helps that process to happen seamlessly every time.

Nachteile:

The ads. At the end when volunteers sign up, they are bombarded with these pop up adds for various vendors. Once you close the window, another pops up and then another and another. You have to click through 3 or 4 before it goes away. Not a fan.

Great platform for non-tech people

Kommentare: SignUpGenius has been such a game changer in setting up activities for volunteers, donations for events, and more. I love it.

Vorteile:

I like that it is free and easy to use as someone that is not a coder.

Nachteile:

I wish it worked a little better on my phone.

Great For Organizing Contributions to an Activity. Free Plan Could Use a Facelift

Vorteile:

It helps organize events for my kids' school's activities and helps everyone stay on the same page for donations and contributions to an activity

Nachteile:

The free plan view is simply an eyesore. I wish they could create a more user-friendly free template that did not feel as distracting and "busy". Other than that, I think it's a great tool!

Hassle free scheduling

Vorteile:

It made life so much easier with scheduling. i just have to put in the time slots and voila!

Nachteile:

a choice of option for 'more than 2' slots would have been better, probably?
