  • Volunteer Hours Served Report?

    I am looking for a report that will give me the total hours served by volunteers in a given ministry and/or activity for a given date range. I have not been able to find anything like this in the library so far. Basically, I just need to be able to find out how many hours volunteers have actually put in for a month, quarter, year, etc. Does anyone ...

  • Volunteer Applications/Background Checks

    A few questions regarding volunteer applications and backgound checks: 1. Volunteer Applications: Our volunteers currently complete paper applications (volunteer pipeline to be integrated in the future).  Do you see an issue with us scanning those applications and then attaching them to a requirement?  Is there any reason why we ...

  • Volunteer Management by volunteers

    Hi- Our church is starting a new volunteer/community service campaign in which we have pledged to give the city 2,500 hours of community service in 2010.  Is there a way for our Community Outreach Coordinator (who does not have portal access) to report on volunteer hours served by individual?  We do use the Small Group manager for Bible ...

  • Re: re: Volunteer Pools

    You could manage this through requirements.  Set up requirements such as application accepted, background completed.  You can run report M3740E on requirements.

  • Checking-in the volunteers: setup

    Hi, I'm a nube to F1, but have watched the videos and read the help screens. I'm trying to set up the system to be able to check-in the volunteers, print name tags for them and report how many are in each room. Somehow, the process escape me. Does anyone have a step-by-step procedure that will do this?

  • How do you schedule your volunteers?

     Hey Friends, As our church gets larger, I have a growing problem.  With 83% of our church membership & 41% of our regular attenders involved in ministry, often times keeping up with the scheduling of volunteers is really difficult.  If someone serves in children's twice a month and also is on the prayer team during the ...

  • Sub Volunteers checking with new 2.5

    We ask our volunteers to find their own sub when they cannot serve from a pool of volunteers that already serve in that area.  we are running into an issue with the new 2.5 check that if the sub does not have a staffing assignment to that particular week they cannot check in.  Does anyone else expect this of their volunteers and/or have ...

  • Setting up multiple staff schedules for one activity-need advice

    We are just now delving into the world of staff schedules.  We have a guest reception each Sunday morning, and there is a group of volunteers who are scheduled to work.  The person that has been in charge of scheduling this usually takes 1/2 of the group and schedules them for a three month period (each couple usually only works 1 or 2 ...

  • re: Volunteer Pools

    I am interested in learning how other churches are keeping track of their volunteer pools through Fellowship One? I would like to track volunteers that are available to help with special projects and have already been through the necessary interviews and background checks. Do any of your churches offer potential volunteers the ...

  • Volunteer Pipeline for VERY basic volunteering

    I've looked in many places for this answer and have not yet found it... We utilize many different types of volunteers, from greeters to trained counselors.  For the Volunteer Pipeline, it seems it is built to handle the volunteers that have a great deal of requirements before serving, such as a background check, etc.  However, if we ...

  • Re: Background checks

    We actually don't run our background checks using Fellowship. We run ours through our local state patrol and its free because we are non profit. We have an account which allows us to login from our own computer and we get results instantly. For the most part we usually end up running background checks on most our active volunteers at least twice ...

  • Background checks

    Does anyone process background checks for volunteers on an annual or recurring basis?  If so, what is the best way to use F1 to process?  Is it easiest simply to ask volunteers to submit a new application on an annual basis, and if so, what is the best way to track who has done this?

  • Access to the Volunteer Interest Forms

    The functionality of creating or editing Volunteer Interest forms should be moved from the Admin Tab to the Ministry tab.  I should not have to give users rights to the Admin tab to create or edit these forms.  I should also not have to manage the editing of these forms as the system administrator.

  • Re: Volunteer Applications

    We tried to use the Form Builder in F1 to gather more information but it timed out in 20 min whether they were typing in it or not.  Also, people had to create an account to use it which became a barrier to potential new volunteers.  We decided to use Wufoo form builder for our serving forms.  They have a secure form builder and it ...

  • Volunteers

    How are churches utilizing the Volunteer Pipeline feature in F1? What's working, what's not? Any suggestions? We're getting ready to begin funneling volunteers through the pipeline and I'd like to get some feedback from other churches as we begin to look at our volunteer process within the children's ministry and how to incorporate the ...

    Our church is currently using UNIQUELY YOU as the "Giftedness" assessment tool.  Does someone out there have a "sample" of how they set up gitedness in FellowshipOne?   It doesn't have to be  setup with UNIQUELY YOU... it could be any assessment tool.  I'm just looking for a working ...
