Volunteer Tracking System

Volunteer Tracking System
Youth organizations carry out activities related to youth, sports and cultural activities such as camps, trainings, projects and preparations. These activities are organized by young people on a voluntary basis. Young people also take part in these activities as participants. Different organizations use different volunteer tracking systems. Effective tracking of volunteers is important in many ways. Monitoring tools provide important information such as which activities existing volunteers participate in, which opportunities they benefit from, which activities they organize, whether they continue to participate in activities, how many activities each volunteer benefits from, which activities attract more attention, which times of the year are more preferable for participants, which age group prefers which activities at which times of the year. In this way, it is ensured that issues such as planning activities, managing volunteers more effectively, determining the training needs of volunteers, prioritizing the follow-up of disadvantaged volunteers, increasing volunteer awareness, determining the need for volunteers, motivating volunteers, planning volunteer search and finding activities are organized more effectively.
This project aims to establish a volunteer tracking system that responds to all needs in international standards by comparing non-governmental organizations in different countries and the volunteer tracking systems they use. What is meant by a system here is not only a software, but also the determination of a functioning system in which each non-governmental organization can create its own personal interfaces according to its own needs. The main focus of the project is the development of a volunteer tracking list. However, in addition to this, the participants will also share volunteer search and finding activities, trainings that can be given to volunteers, increasing the motivation of volunteers, and activities that can ensure the continuity of participation in volunteer activities. In this way, outputs that will contribute to organizations carrying out youth work on effective volunteer management in many respects will be obtained.
