Common Questions

Can I migrate from VolunteerHub to Serve.Love?
Yes. We can import your volunteer database and historical data. Most organizations migrate within a few days.
What about background checks?
We integrate with background check providers, but it's not as deeply built-in as VolunteerHub. If background checks are a primary workflow, VolunteerHub has an advantage there.
How does geofencing hour tracking work?
When volunteers with our app arrive at an event location, the system automatically detects their presence and suggests logging their hours. No manual check-in needed.
