The part nobody signed up for
Volunteers and pros in two systems
Your members live in one tool and your paid ringers in a pile of texts and invoices. Nothing shows you the whole ensemble at once.
Section leaders are paid — but nothing tracks it
You owe section leaders and subs real money, but volunteer-scheduling apps have no concept of rates, W-9s, or 1099s.
Chasing availability by reply-all
"Who can sing the Messiah run?" turns into forty replies and a spreadsheet you rebuild every season.
Everything the call needs
One roster, volunteers and paid
See your whole choir by voice part — members, section leaders, and ringers — and staff any concert from the same place.
Availability before you commit
Poll singers for a concert or a season, then send firm offers only to those who are free. No more guessing.
Pay your section leaders properly
Track rates for paid singers, collect W-9s, send pay confirmations, and export at tax time — built in, not bolted on.
Offers singers actually answer
One tap to accept or decline from any phone, plus a personal portal with their schedule and music.
“We schedule volunteer singers, paid section leaders, instrumentalists, and substitutes in the same production. Podium lets us manage all of them together without forcing everyone into the same kind of role or pay structure.”
Made for
Good to know
Can Podium handle both volunteer and paid singers?
Yes — that's the point. Volunteers, section leaders, and paid ringers all live on one roster by voice part, and only the paid ones carry rates, W-9s, and 1099 tracking.
How is this different from Planning Center or a volunteer scheduler?
Volunteer tools only poll members — they don't hire. Podium sends paid offers, tracks rates and W-9s, and handles substitutes, which is exactly what choirs with paid staff need.
Can we collect availability before booking?
Yes. Poll singers for a concert or a whole season first, then send firm offers to whoever's free.
