Volunteer sign-ups & hours tracking
Log volunteer sign-ups and hours for a non-profit or community group, and see exactly who's giving the most time with a ranked leaderboard - gold, silver and bronze for your top three - instead of a spreadsheet you have to sort yourself.
Every volunteer with a logged shift, ranked by total hours given - gold, silver and bronze rank badges for the top three, each row a proportional bar, not a table you have to sort yourself.
Event support, Admin/office, Fundraising, Befriending/visiting, Environmental/outdoor, Driving/transport and Mentoring/tutoring cover the common ones - type a free-text "Other" activity for anything that doesn't fit.
Every shift records the volunteer, activity, hours, project/event and optional notes - one quick form, with every entry landing in a searchable table with a delete action.
The Leaderboard tab totals shifts logged, total hours given, volunteer count, shifts this week and this month, and the top volunteer, alongside a full searchable shift history.
Every activity or role with a logged shift, broken down by shift count and hours given, sorted with the most hours first - see where volunteer time is actually going.
Date, volunteer name, activity/role, hours, project/event and notes - one quick form, with every entry landing in a searchable table with a delete action.
Copy a plain-text summary of the leaderboard and totals to the clipboard, or export a standalone HTML file to keep or share.
Light/dark theme remembers your choice, and two rotating sample shift logs - each spanning several volunteers and activities - let you explore the leaderboard before logging your own.
Volunteer hour tracking is usually sold as ongoing per-month software aimed at larger volunteer programmes. Here's how a focused, one-off desktop tool built specifically for logging shifts and ranking volunteers compares to a budget-friendly monthly plan like Track It Forward's.

Every volunteer with at least one logged shift, ranked by total hours given from most to least - the top three get a gold, silver or bronze rank badge. Each row is a proportional bar behind the name, so the scale of who's giving the most time is visible at a glance, not just a number in a table.
A fixed set covering the common ones - Event support, Admin/office, Fundraising, Befriending/visiting, Environmental/outdoor, Driving/transport and Mentoring/tutoring - plus a free-text "Other" option for anything that doesn't fit.
No. It's a sign-up and hours record-keeping log for volunteer coordinators - it doesn't calculate DBS/background-check status, insurance cover, or paid-work classification. Check your organisation's own volunteering policy for those.
No - it works for any non-profit or community group tracking who's volunteering and how many hours they've given: a residents' association, a sports club, a befriending scheme, a community garden, or a registered charity.
Yes - Volunteer Hours Log uses the same shared Metre2 account as Vector, Forma and every other Keystone app. Sign in once and it works everywhere.
