Send mass messages to all your volunteers at once for quick coordination and updates
Broadcasting lets you send a single message that reaches all volunteers for a specific campaign simultaneously. Instead of messaging each person individually, you write once and everyone receives it in their inbox.
Think of it like a group text — everyone gets the same message at the same time, but replies are private (1-on-1 with you).
Navigate to /profile/volunteers
Choose the campaign whose volunteers you want to message
Find the broadcast messaging section in the Coordination tab
Write your message in the text area and click "Send Broadcast"
Broadcasts are sent to:
Not included: Pending applications (they haven't been approved yet) and completed/removed volunteers.
Type in the broadcast text area. Be clear and include all relevant details.
The system shows how many volunteers will receive your message.
Message is sent to all eligible volunteers instantly.
You'll see a success notification with the number of messages sent.
"Reminder: Tomorrow's packing session starts at 8 AM instead of 9 AM. Please arrive at the warehouse by 7:45 AM."
"We need 5 more volunteers for distribution this Saturday. If you're available from 10 AM - 2 PM, please reply to this message!"
"Thank you all for your incredible work today! We distributed 500 food packs to 3 barangays. You made this possible! 🙏"
"New shift available: Monday 2-6 PM warehouse sorting. First 10 volunteers to reply get the slot. Who's in?"
When volunteers reply to your broadcast, their responses come to your regular inbox as 1-on-1 messages. This keeps coordination private and organized.
Include dates, times, locations, and exactly what you need. Vague messages lead to confusion.
Send broadcasts during reasonable hours. Avoid late night or very early morning messages.
Don't over-broadcast. Save mass messages for important updates to avoid fatigue.
If you need responses, clearly ask: "Reply YES if you can make it" or "Let me know your availability."
