How Volunteers Work in CareNoteOnboarding Volunteers with Ease

Empowering volunteers in CareNote is simple. Every paid user includes three free volunteers, and inviting them into your network of care takes just an email. Our secure, token-based workflow lets volunteers accept assignments and submit reports right from their inbox— no accounts to set up, no passwords to remember, and no navigation required. If they can use email, they can serve with confidence on your Care team.
