Few things can compare with the Norwegian spirit of volunteer work (dugnad). Dedicated enthusiasts and eager volunteers are more than happy to help out when festivals, sporting events, flea markets, gatherings and meets are organised.
From Excel spreadsheets to Rubic Funksjonær
Few things can compare with the Norwegian spirit of volunteer work (dugnad). Dedicated enthusiasts and eager volunteers are more than happy to help out when festivals, sporting events, flea markets, gatherings and meets are organised. We make waffles, hand out bib numbers, put up fences and work in the kiosk.
Dependent on volunteers
Associations and event organisers are completely dependent on their volunteer staff. Without them, we would not be able to enjoy all the fantastic events, meets and gatherings that we Norwegians like to take part in. But to organise hundreds of volunteers so that everything runs smoothly, good means of communication are absolutely essential.
Do Excel spreadsheets really work for anyone?
To state the obvious: Excel is not necessarily a clear system. It works well as a spreadsheet, but let us be honest, the program has weaknesses when it comes to giving an accurate overview of volunteers, contact details and areas of responsibility. Excel spreadsheets are not updated automatically, have limited capabilities and cannot be used to send information to members.
Everything you need with Rubic Funksjonær
Fortunately, Excel is no longer the only option available. Do as so many other event organisers and associations in Norway have already done: choose Rubic as your membership system. Rubic is made up of different modules with different functionality. If you need to organise volunteer work (dugnad), the Rubic Funksjonær module gives you all the functionality you need.
25,000 volunteer hours organised with Rubic
Before and during World Cup Kvitfjell, at least 25,000 hours of volunteer work had to be planned, allocated and coordinated. Like many others, the organiser is completely dependent on volunteer staff and wanted both communication and organisation to be simple and efficient. That is why they chose to replace their custom-built but outdated computer system with Rubic.
Recruit even more volunteers
With Rubic Funksjonær, you can also bring in even more volunteers for your volunteer work days. You do this easily by creating a dedicated landing page with all the information the volunteers need. You can send this link to everyone who has volunteered before and let them sign up. The module is connected to and integrated with Rubic Medlem, so all information is automatically transferred from the landing page to your membership system. It doesn't get any simpler!
