Free — takes 30 seconds

What needs doing.

The task, who it serves, where and when, how many people, what skills (if any), and whether volunteers will be around children, seniors, patients, or handle money or driving.

Free. Takes a few seconds.

Why this exists

People want to help. They need a task, a time and a name.

'We need volunteers!' gets nobody. 'Six people, Saturday 8–11, unload the truck and pack 120 boxes, ask for Rosa' gets a crew. This writes the second kind, checks the rules that protect the kids and the organization, and tells you where to post it.

How it works

Thirty seconds. Then a role people say yes to.

Common questions

Is it really free? Is what I paste stored?

Yes — the tool is described as free, with no account needed to get a role write-up. The material states plainly: "Nothing you paste is stored." There are optional paid add-ons — a $19 one-time Recruiting kit for one role, and a $49/month plan for churches, schools & networks — but the core tool itself is free.

Do I need a background check for volunteers who work with kids or seniors?

It depends on whether your program is licensed. Florida requires Level 2 (fingerprint-based) background screening under Fla. Stat. ch. 435 for people in positions of trust with children or vulnerable adults in licensed or specified settings, administered by DCF or AHCA. For an unlicensed church or nonprofit program it's usually a best practice or insurance requirement rather than a legal mandate — confirm which applies to you with DCF or your licensing agency before placing anyone around kids.

Am I liable if a volunteer gets hurt, or hurts someone else?

Florida's Volunteer Protection Act (Fla. Stat. 768.1355), along with the federal 1997 version, limits a volunteer's own personal liability for ordinary negligence while acting within the scope of a nonprofit's activities. It does not protect your organization, and it does not cover gross negligence or driving. Ask your insurer about volunteer accident coverage and non-owned auto coverage before volunteers start — this tool isn't a lawyer or insurance agent and can be wrong.

What if a volunteer needs to drive — their own car or our van?

A volunteer driving their own car is covered by their own insurance first; you should confirm their license and insurance, and consider adding non-owned auto coverage. A volunteer driving your organization's van is only covered if your policy specifically allows volunteer drivers — ask your insurer before anyone gets behind the wheel.

Where do I actually post the volunteer role once it's written?

The material points to three main free places: VolunteerMatch and JustServe, the largest volunteer listing platforms (free for nonprofits to post), and Volunteer Florida, the state's commission on service, which also runs a statewide volunteer portal. For volunteers 55+, AmeriCorps Seniors programs — RSVP, Foster Grandparents, Senior Companions — can also send people your way.
