Parent power, properly organized.
Your parent body wants to help — with the dinner, the book fair, lunch duty, and the Lag BaOmer trip. Give them signup links that fill themselves, and give your office a live roster instead of a clipboard.

The problem
Sound familiar?
The same ten parentsVolunteer requests go out as mass emails, and the same ten hands go up. Everyone else would help — if signing up took less effort than ignoring it.
Clipboard rostersWho signed up for the 10am book fair shift? The answer lives on a paper sheet in the lobby — or nowhere.
Unscreened helpers on tripsA well-meaning parent joins the class trip without the background clearance your insurance requires. Nobody checked, because checking was hard.
What 613OS does
Built to make this disappear
Signup links that fill themselves, reminders nobody has to send, and a roster the office can trust.
Slot-based signupsEvery event gets signup slots with caps — bake sale shifts, trip chaperones, setup crews. Parents claim a slot in two taps from their phone.
Automatic remindersVolunteers get confirmation instantly and reminders before their shift. No-show rates drop when nobody has to remember on their own.
Screening status visibilityChaperone signups check clearance status automatically — uncleared volunteers get routed to complete screening before the roster finalizes.
Hour trackingVolunteer hours log per family — for schools with participation requirements or hour-based fundraising credits.
Committee rostersStanding committees — dinner, PTA, chesed — managed as living rosters with their own communication channels.
Recognition workflowsEnd-of-year thank-you sequences and volunteer spotlight features run automatically. Appreciated volunteers return.
2 taps for a parent to claim a volunteer slot from their phone — confirmation sent instantly, reminder the day before and the morning of, by WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions
What is volunteer management software?
Volunteer management software coordinates the people who power school and community events: shift signups, hour tracking, automated reminders, and recognition — replacing the WhatsApp-group heroics that burn out coordinators. 613OS ties volunteer history to the same records as membership and giving.
How do volunteers sign up for shifts?
From a link: open slots show live, a volunteer taps their shift, and confirmation plus reminders send automatically — the dinner committee stops being one exhausted person's phone.
Can we track volunteer hours?
Yes. Hours log per person per event, which matters for recognition, for chesed-hour requirements, and for grant applications that ask about community engagement.
Do reminders actually reduce no-shows?
Substantially — a reminder the day before and morning of, by WhatsApp, converts good intentions into staffed shifts, and unfilled slots surface early enough to recruit replacements.
Does volunteer history connect to the donor record?
Yes. Volunteering is engagement — the parent who works every dinner is a relationship worth knowing about, and their full picture appears on the same record development uses.
