The Real Lives of Volunteer Coordinators
A Blog for us to Learn from Each Other
This past quarter, our development team has been hard at work on some exciting new updates that are coming soon, as well as put the finishing touches on some of our newer features like the Service Resume and Clever Integration.
Coming Soon - Community Service Directory
We’re excited to announce a new feature for schools using Track it Forward - The Community Service Directory. The community service directory will streamline the process of connecting student volunteers with local organizations and opportunities. This feature is specifically designed for student volunteer programs, such as those tracking high school community service requirements.
Schools can share a direct link with local organizations and nonprofits to invite them to submit available opportunities for students. Once the opportunity is submitted, the school has the ability to review and approve the listing before it’s posted for students. This ensures that the available opportunities are suitable for students and qualify towards their required hours.
We’re offering early access to select organizations for the rest of the 2022-2023 school year! If you’re interested in the feature, you can fill out this form and our team will follow up.

Coming Soon - Texting
Our development team is in the early stages of introducing a new feature for SMS/Texting for organizations using Track it Forward. This new feature will have a phased release, beginning with reminders for scheduled events and custom event messages to registered participants. This will provide volunteers with greater flexibility to choose their preferred communication method and ensure they receive updates in the most efficient way.
Next month, our team will be implementing a beta program for select organizations that filled out our texting survey in August. If you missed it, there’s still time to fill out the survey and get considered for the beta program. You can fill out the survey here.
