We started recruiting volunteers for our July VBS last month. Making all those phone calls can be a chore, so we decided to start a VBS database. I gave our church all the names of past volunteers and they were able to give me e-mail addresses and phone numbers. With that information, I started our VBS Volunteer Database. It is just an Excel document, but at least we have contact information in one spot.

I was also able to export all the e-mail addresses so I could send out a recruitment e-mail. You will still have to follow-up with some phone calls as not everyone communicates with e-mail, but we were able to save a little time by cutting out a few phone calls with e-mail.
