How it works
From listing to fully rostered in minutes.
Scheduling and rosters
Running the day itself.
How do you create an online volunteer sign-up?
On Ripple, you create a listing with shift times, capacity, and a direct sign-up link that volunteers can share. It takes under ten minutes and your event goes live immediately.
What is the best volunteer scheduling software?
The best volunteer scheduling software handles shift creation, capacity limits, automated reminders, and roster visibility in one place, without requiring a full-time coordinator to manage it. Ripple does all of that and adds a discovery layer so you're filling shifts, not just managing them.
How do you reduce volunteer no-shows?
The two biggest drivers of no-shows are poor communication and unclear expectations. Ripple's automated reminders and detailed listing format address both. Volunteers know exactly what to expect and get reminded automatically so you're not chasing anyone the night before.
Can you manage recurring volunteer programs on Ripple?
Yes. Ripple supports recurring shifts and ongoing programs, not just one-off events. Build a program template once and publish new shifts without starting from scratch each time.
How do you track volunteer hours?
Volunteers check in digitally on the day and their hours are logged automatically. You see a complete record per event and per volunteer, with totals available in your impact dashboard whenever you need them.
Ripple makers
The coordinators who were doing it the hard way.
From the organisations already using Ripple.
“We used to spend more time on volunteer coordination than the actual program. Ripple cut our admin in half within the first month.”
“As a small grassroots group we have no marketing budget. Ripple gave us visibility we never had before. We filled our last three events faster than we ever have.”
“The repeat volunteer rate has gone up significantly since we started. People follow our profile now and come back for our next event without us doing anything. That changed everything.”
“We had 60 volunteers show up on time, prepared, and knowing exactly what they were doing. The Ripple listing did the briefing work for us. First time we've ever felt genuinely organised at that scale.”
“I was sceptical because we'd tried other volunteer platforms and they were all terrible. Ripple is the first one that felt like it was actually designed by someone who'd run a volunteer program before.”
“Our volunteers skew younger and more engaged than before. I think it's because Ripple attracts people actively looking to give back rather than people who got guilted into it.”
