Case Study: Arizona Animal Welfare League streamlines volunteer management with SignUpGenius

Arizona Animal Welfare League streamlines volunteer coordination for 100+ volunteers with SignUpGenius

The Arizona Animal Welfare League, the state's largest no-kill shelter, faced a significant challenge in managing its extensive volunteer program. Using phone calls, emails, and spreadsheets to coordinate orientations, training, recurring events, and a major annual fundraiser had become unsustainable for Volunteer and Event Coordinator Amber Durand. The organization turned to SignUpGenius to find a better solution.

By implementing SignUpGenius, AAWL streamlined volunteer management for all its programs, including weekly adoption events and the Walk to Save Animals fundraiser. The platform allowed volunteers to self-manage sign-ups and schedule swaps, freeing up staff time. It also served as a mass communication tool. This resulted in an immediate reduction in administrative overhead, allowing the team to focus on mission-critical work and seamlessly handle the expansion to a new adoption center. SignUpGenius coordinated over 100 volunteers for their annual fundraiser alone.
