The difference

From static brochure
to volunteer growth engine

Most club websites post meeting dates and officer names β€” and stop there. HoursServed turns your site into a working tool that attracts volunteers, collects signups, and keeps people coming back. Every event becomes a chance to grow your club.

Other Club Tools

A presence,
not a pipeline

  • Static pages with meeting info
  • External forms with no follow-up
  • Manual attendance and sign-in sheets
  • Hours recorded in scattered spreadsheets
  • Photos posted days later, if at all
HoursServed

A website that
helps you grow

  • Published events with volunteer calls-to-action
  • Single-email RSVP β€” no passwords, no friction
  • Attendance and hours tracked in one place
  • CSV/PDF reports for officers, ready instantly
  • Instant photo uploads β€” visible proof of impact

What's included

Everything behind the growth

The public-facing tools that bring volunteers in β€” and the officer tools that keep everything running behind the scenes.

Public Website Pages

Dedicated pages for events, volunteers, photos, and contact β€” visible to your community, always current.

Event Publishing & Google Calendar Sync

Publish events directly from HoursServed and sync them to Google Calendar so volunteers can add them instantly.

Frictionless Volunteer Signups

No passwords. No accounts. One email, two buttons β€” volunteers RSVP in seconds from any device.

Meeting & Event Nudges

Instant Photo Uploads

Volunteers upload photos from the field. Your website shows visible, real-time proof of community impact.

Officer Tools: Attendance, Hours & Reports

Track attendance, log service hours, and export CSV or PDF reports β€” all in one place, without a spreadsheet in sight.

Sample wording for your club to post

Photography Notice β€” Photos and video may be taken at this event by club members for use on the club website, social media, and promotional materials. By attending or participating, guests and volunteers acknowledge that images in which they appear may be published. Participants who prefer not to be photographed are welcome to let an organizer know at any time.

HoursServed does not add this notice for you. Copy it, adapt it for your jurisdiction, and post it at your own events.

Volunteer appreciation

Because a thank-you
goes a long way

The fastest way to lose a volunteer is to treat their time like it was unremarkable. The fastest way to keep one β€” and grow ten more from their network β€” is to make them feel genuinely seen.

Thank-You Email

Send a warm, personalized thank-you the moment an event wraps. Acknowledge what they did, name the impact, and invite them back to the next one.

Mail a Card

A physical card in the mailbox still means something. A handwritten note is the kind of gesture volunteers remember and talk about.

A Personal Phone Call

Some appreciation can't be automated. A call after someone's first event is what keeps a new volunteer from slipping through the cracks.

Most clubs mean to follow up. They just run out of time.

Leo Clubs

Your next Lions members
are already out there serving.

Leo Clubs are the youth arm of Lions Clubs International β€” young people aged 12–28 who already share your values and show up to serve. They're not just volunteers. They're future members.

HoursServed helps clubs track and engage Leo volunteers alongside adult members, log their hours, invite them to events, and build a relationship that carries forward when they're ready to join as Lions.

  • βœ“Track Leo volunteer hours alongside adult members
  • βœ“Include Leos in event invitations and signups
  • βœ“Recognize Leo contributions publicly on your site
  • βœ“Build a pipeline from Leo Club to full membership
