Case Study: University of Iowa achieves seamless new student volunteer registration with VolunteerLocal

University of Iowa - Customer Case Study

The University of Iowa needed a simple way to recruit and manage more than 650 volunteers each year for its On Iowa! new student orientation, while also collecting campus-specific details like student organization names, student ID numbers, and “Squad Colors.” The challenge was to make registration seamless for student volunteers and support a large, high-energy event with many moving parts.

VolunteerLocal provided a customized registration form, branded website integration, and a Group Signup feature so students could sign up with friends. With VolunteerLocal, the University of Iowa streamlined volunteer coordination and created an easier sign-up experience for participants, helping support a successful orientation program for hundreds of volunteers.
