SignUpGenius

In my workplace, I am the primary user of SignUpGenius. As a youth pastor, I plan many events, often utilizing a variety of volunteers. SignUpGenius is an excellent tool for getting people to participate in these events. It helps us get a headcount of who might be coming to an event; it helps us meet the need of filling volunteer positions, and it helps me in my overall planning and preparations for many events.

I can't speak for the entire organization, as every instructor has free reign to manage their courses as they wish, but what I surmise is that many of my colleagues that use SignUpGenius use it in a similar fashion to me. I've found it to be an ideal way for students to sign themselves up for anything that requires a "first-come, first-served" approach, such as presentation time slots, choosing topics to research for an assignment, etc.

We use SignUpGenius to sign up for certain events and workshops for us. This is a great way to get people to easily sign up and engage. It can track email addresses as well as send reminder emails so we don’t have to worry about it! It’s a very easy to use software and is user friendly.

It’s a helpful tool for scheduling. As an organization, we used it when teachers were picking up their new laptops and COVID restricted the number of people who could come to school at one time. I’ve also used it for scheduling parent-teacher conferences and for scheduling student due dates/presentations

Currently we use SignUpGenius for our summer events that we offer to employees. We have a limited amount of slots available for the events, so we use this platform for people to sign up for each event. This is nice because it solves trying to track the data, and once an event is full, it does not allow anyone to continue to fill up a slot.

I have personally used SignUpGenius at two different businesses and part of a nonprofit organization as well. It's incredibly easy to use as a group and to share with people that have never used it before. The first time you create a SignUp, it can be a little tricky - however, after you get the hang of it, it's very easy. The free plan allows for a ton of customization, allowing the user to create the perfect sign up form for their needs. It addresses the problem of organizing meetings to fit everyone's schedules, signing up for volunteer shifts, etc.

It is used to help support sign-ups for in-house contests, competition entries as well as for sign-ups for events (in order to get a slot for say the wellness fair activities, etc.). Also used for sign ups for volunteer charity opportunities.

I actually use this for big client parties. My clients know that I don't have a huge team to put things together and they always volunteer to help. So I use it for them to sign up for how they want to help out and their kiddos rave that they have the absolute best of times with me!

I am a small business that does enrichment education for kids from preschool to middle school. Often I put on family events where I need to gather volunteers from all over my community. SignUpGenius was a blessing literally to do the task. It is familiar with schools-public and private as well as parents. It organizes everything for me including downloads and reminder emails. I love the alerts as I did a posting and was concerned which I didn't have to as SignUpGenius sends alerts. I filled a one-night event that evening with volunteers with a waitlist. I love that there is a link so I just send the link to my school contacts asking for volunteers; again this is a well-known resource for gathering volunteers.

We use SignUpGenius to facilitate scheduling time slots for employee engagement opportunities. It allows for real-time access to availability and gives us a quick way to see where we still need resources. It helps to take what was a paper signup process to something we can now do electronically.

We have used SignUp Genius for staff parties and meetings. We use it within each team (teaching team, assisting team, and volunteer trade team) as well as when we have entire team events. It's an easy for everyone to sign up for something to bring to the party or meeting.

We use SignUpGenius to arrange our parent/teacher conferences each quarter, and it makes it very simple. All of our teachers use SignUpGenius, and it makes it possible for our teachers to connect with our parents for the good of their children.

We use SignUpGenius to recruit volunteers for our major events as well as for assisting with donor stewardship (i.e. birthday cards, intake, property donors, etc.). Our entire organization uses it. It assists us with reaching all of those in our database to assist us with tasks that can be done locally, from afar, online, or at home.

SignUpGenius is used by many departments within the health system and allows for easier communication and scheduling across the board. It allows us to keep everything in one place, employees the ability to communicate with each other and others to be able to view sign-ups/scheduling at a glance. It is very quick and efficient.

My department uses SignUp Genius in a couple of ways. The first is to allow students to be able to sign up for appointments with me for intake meetings or other 1-on-1 services that occur once and are not part of our week to week services. I was unable to make my work Outlook calendar available to students and setting up student meetings was painfully slow and inefficient. Enter SignUpGenius, where I enter days and times I'm open and whenever responding to new student requests, I just send the link to my SignUp for intakes and they can easily claim a spot and even get an email reminder 2 days before the meeting. When I trained my Graduate Assistant to start doing some intakes as well, it was very easy to expand the existing sign-up by creating a second block with her name in it and indicating the days and times that she's available. Essentially, this student appointment signup is just a perpetual link where I routinely add and delete dates and times, so no one has to keep up with new links.
Over time, we realized that many of our internal events could also be more efficiently handled this way, so we use it for things like signing up to work Open Houses, making appointment times for end-of-semester employee reviews, etc.

I've used SignUpGenius to organize our volunteers across many different ministries, from children's ministry to hospitality. It allows us to provide several different options to get all of our needs covered. I've also used it to collect which times people are available to help us decide when to plan a meeting.

I use SignUpGenius for two programs - one personal, one business, and it is a great feature! For personal, I utilize it for PTO and Booster Clubs for donations and work slots. Parents & colleagues find it very easy to sign in, select their time slot and be done. I find that it is easier to utilize this program than to email everyone and then they fight over the time slots.

I use SignUpGenius to manage my parent volunteers in the school library. It helps me to know when I will have volunteers and enables me not to double book volunteers. In addition, they can schedule themselves in advance without having to check with me. They can also cancel their date, which many of the parents find convenient.

It is being used by our whole organization. It has simplified the volunteer process for our events by eliminating the need for an employee to keep track manually of volunteers.
