- Go to volunteerbadge.com and choose “Create your free account.” You can also create your account in the VolunteerBadge mobile app. Enter your email and a password (at least 8 characters), or use “Continue with Google.” Prefer no password? Request a magic-link sign-in instead.
- After confirming your email, set up your organization:
On the website, the onboarding wizard walks you through six quick steps:
| Step | What you'll do |
|---|---|
| Organization | Enter your organization name, type (nonprofit / church / other), and primary focus area. Optionally add address, phone, and logo. |
| Team | Invite admins by email now, or “Skip for now.” |
| Your Path | Pick how you’ll use VolunteerBadge: Use the Platform, API + Webhook, or Both. |
| Share & Recruit | Get your volunteer application link, a printable QR code, and an optional AI-generated flyer. |
| First Template | A ready-to-use application template is created for you based on your focus area. |
| Done | Jump to Buy Credits, Customize Template, or Go to Dashboard. |
In the mobile app, organization setup is a single screen after sign-in: enter your organization name, choose your organization type (nonprofit, church, or other), and pick your primary focus area — we use that to create your starter application template. Phone and address are optional. Logo, team invites, billing, and API access can be finished later in Settings.
The first time you reach the dashboard, a short guided tour highlights the key areas. You can replay it any time from Settings → Account.
