How to make a nonprofit volunteer application form

A good volunteer application tells you who someone is, when they can serve, and where they want to help — all on one page they can sign. Describe your organization and EZdoc builds a blank, fillable form ready to print or send.

Capture the essentials first

The top of the form collects the details every coordinator needs before placing a volunteer:

• Full name, date of birth, email, phone, and mailing address
• An emergency contact name and phone
• Weekday, weekend, and evening availability

Match volunteers to the right role

Interest-area checkboxes — food sorting, pantry and distribution, driving, community garden, front desk, events — let applicants pick where they fit. A skills-and-experience box and a short references table round out who you're welcoming in.

Get consent and a signature

The form closes with a background-check consent statement and a signature line, so the volunteer authorizes the check and certifies their answers in one step. For roles you're hiring rather than recruiting, pair it with a job application form. Download the finished application as a signed PDF.
