This printable volunteer satisfaction survey helps nonprofits, charities, and community groups collect honest feedback from every volunteer in 12 questions across two pages. The form takes about five minutes to complete and reaches volunteers who never open an email or online portal.
What this survey measures
The questions cover the full volunteer journey: whether onboarding prepared people for their role, how clear their responsibilities were, the support they received, how well they understand the impact of their work, and whether they feel appreciated. A short role profile records how long, how often, and how many hours each person volunteers, and a training and support grid rates first and ongoing training, check-ins, scheduling, safety, and recognition. A continuation question tells you how likely each person is to keep volunteering, follow-up questions show what would help them stay and which new roles interest them, and two open comment boxes capture what volunteers enjoyed most and what would make the experience better.
How to use it on paper
Hand the survey out at the end of a shift, event, or training session, or leave copies with a drop box in your volunteer space. Volunteers fill the checkboxes with a blue or black pen and write their comments in the open boxes. Collect the completed forms and scan them in batches: PaperSurvey reads the checkbox answers with optical mark recognition and converts the handwritten comments to text automatically, so results appear in your dashboard without any manual data entry.
Customize this template
Add your organization logo, reword the statements to match your programs, or add questions about specific projects and locations. The paper layout reflows automatically as you edit, and every copy you print stays scannable.
