Disk No: 2589 Disk Title: Volunteer Network #3 (2587, 2588 also) PC-SIG Version: S1 Program Title: The Volunteer Network Author Version: 5.0 Author Registration: $99.00 Special Requirements: 512K RAM, and a hard drive. THE VOLUNTEER NETWORK is an extensive database written in DBASE III, designed to help organize putting volunteers together to perform different tasks and assignments, and keeping track of special skills and experience of each volunteer to meet special needs. Assignments can be scheduled to meet the time availability of each volunteer, and you can keep track of the hours that each volunteer has worked and what groups or committees they belong too. THE VOLUNTEER NETWORK is most useful to any volunteer organization that has a large volunteer base or has many assigments that need to be met, subject to time availability or special skills that may be required. Sign in sheets can be printed, as well as mailing labels for the volunteers. For each volunteer you can keep track of specific information such as their age, education, health condition, education, emergency phone number and contact, membership dues, tests taken, whether or not they can drive, if they have a car or truck, assignment interests, the times that they are available, and the total number hours that they have worked. The number of hours that each volunteer puts in is automatically updated as each work assignment is accomplished. Awards can be issued on the basis of the number of hours put in, and you can keep track of the awards each volunteer has attained. The skills and experience of each volunteer are entered in separate records from the personal information. For each person business and volunteer skills can be entered, as well as all past experience and training courses completed. This will allow a volunteer organization to pool its resources more efficiently. Assignments can be scheduled and filled by individual volunteers or by a group of volunteers. Volunteers can be given regular daily assignments or special tasks that need to be performed. THE VOLUNTEER NETWORK will allow you to keep track of unfilled assignments and what hours are still open. For reviewing and searching the volunteer information, THE VOLUNTEER NETWORK will allow you to find an individual record from a key field or find multiple records based upon criteria on several fields of information. Moreover, you can display or print information in a customized format: you can select what fields are to printed, the order in which they are to be printed, and the sorting order of the records. In addition to the search and review options, THE VOLUNTEER NETWORK can print out many reports, among which are the following: ~ Address and phone listing. ~ Volunteer group listing. ~ Volunteer start date listing. ~ Membership roster. ~ Membership dues listing for a range of dates. ~ Assignment interest listing for each volunteer. ~ Emergency information listing. ~ Training class reports by class, instructor, certification expiration date, and other criteria. ~ Assignment listing for each volunteer, or group. ~ A listing of all volunteers, or groups, with an assignment on a particular day. ~ A master schedule of assignments, sorted by date. ~ A daily assignment listing. ~ Sign in sheets for recording work done. ~ Work entry reports. ~ Unscheduled assignment reports. THE VOLUNTEER NETWORK can produce mailing labels for the volunteers. Mailing labels can be printed for all volunteers, for specific groups or committees, for volunteers on a particular assignment, for members only, for board members only, or for inactive volunteers.
