One platform to manage student volunteering, groups, and school wide impact
Create groups, control membership, publish opportunities privately or publicly, coordinate students, and build a school impact profile that is easy to share.
Designed for schools, colleges, sixth forms, and youth programmes.
The Challenge
Student volunteering is often unstructured and hard to prove
Volunteering lives in spreadsheets, email chains, and WhatsApp groups with no central record.
Teachers and coordinators spend hours chasing attendance, hours, and evidence manually.
Without targeting, the right students never see the right roles.
For awards, references, and partnerships, proving impact takes too long.
Vinspired turns volunteering into an organised programme with clear participation and measurable impact.
How It Works
Organise, publish, coordinate,
and report
A simple end to end flow for managing student volunteering across your school or college.
Create groups
Clubs, year cohorts, and programmes with controlled visibility and access.
Manage memberships
Only approved students can access private content and opportunities.
Publish opportunities
To a specific group or to the wider platform, with full control.
Message students
Collectively to coordinate volunteers and reduce drop offs.
Track student participation and build your school impact profile
Automatically over time, giving staff, governors, and partners a clear picture of your school's contribution.
