Does Little Green Light handle volunteers?

Little Green Light tracks volunteer hours and categories. Tormano adds shift scheduling and self-service sign-up, an approval step for logged hours, and a notification to the program lead you choose for each shift. Volunteer scheduling is included from the Standard tier.
