Legal services organizations do incredibly important work every day—often with limited time and resources. If your organization has been maintaining a separate calendar to display clinics, trainings, and other pro bono opportunities, it can quickly become time-consuming. On top of that, adding the same events to a broader list of volunteer opportunities takes even more effort. Paladin’s new Events Calendar can save you time while making it easier for volunteers to find and engage with your opportunities, ultimately boosting engagement.
A simple, no-cost way to increase volunteer engagement
With the Events Calendar, you can add events once, and they automatically appear both on your opportunity list and on a clear, visual calendar view—on Paladin and directly on your website.
The calendar also makes it easier for volunteers to plan ahead and sign up:
- Toggle Between List and Calendar: Volunteers can browse all matters and events in one place, switching between a list view or calendar view depending on how they prefer to explore.
- Embeddable Calendar: Display your calendar directly on your website, giving volunteers an at-a-glance view of upcoming events—without maintaining a separate Google Calendar or other tools.
- Centralized Management: Add an event once in Paladin, and it automatically updates both your list and calendar, streamlining volunteer recruitment.
Paladin’s embed feature is completely free for legal services organizations.
Reduce repetitive questions and save staff time
For staff, the benefits are immediate: no duplicate work, no manual updates, and fewer repetitive questions like, “How can I sign up for opportunities?” or “Where can I see available opportunities?” Your team can spend more time engaging volunteers and managing cases instead of updating multiple platforms.
Embedding your opportunities and events is free, simple, and allows volunteers to access the latest information wherever they are—on your website, newsletters, or other outreach channels.
Volunteers can explore opportunities in two ways: a full list of all matters and events, and a calendar view of upcoming events. Organizations can embed either view on their websites, newsletters, or other outreach channels, giving volunteers a seamless, at-a-glance experience—without creating extra work for your team.
By embedding your public opportunities and events, you meet volunteers where they are. They can browse, express interest directly through Paladin, and your team is automatically notified—streamlining recruitment and keeping everything organized.
It’s a simple, free solution that helps:
✅ Increase visibility and volunteer engagement
✅ Reduce staff workload and duplicate data entry
✅ Streamline volunteer sign-ups and communication
