If you haven't already done so, I would take a look at the software page on the Bike Collectives wiki: https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/Software

Hi  Alexandria,

Thanks for sharing! I'm also curious what others use and if there are more conducive "all in one" platforms out there.
At Kickstand Community Bikes in Vancouver BC, we use the following:
- We use google sheets for scheduling 
- Google forms for tracking volunteer hours,
- Slack and email for daily communication
- Mailchimp for newsletters

Thanks,
Ally Henderson (She/Her)
Program Coordinator

Hi Thinktank! I’d like to share how we track our volunteers and see how others track them.  We’re looking for something more integrated.  Are there any commercial off the shelf software you use? Maybe we’re missing something easier and better.  With that said, Vélocity Bicycle Coop in Alexandria Virginia does the following:

-We use a Google form for volunteer shifts.
-We use a Slack channel to communicate to the others when we’ll be volunteering
-We use Meetup.com for volunteer nights. (If anyone is interested in setting up a meetup group for free, we have a free group to giveaway.  Just LMK!)
-We use a Google form to track what hours volunteers have performed. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.  Thank you everyone!
