# Apply2Volunteer > Upload the volunteer application you already use and get a short, mobile-friendly online form. Host it or embed it on your site. Apply2Volunteer turns the PDF or Word volunteer application you already use into a short online form that works on a phone. Volunteers answer a few questions first. You ask for references, emergency contacts and consents only after you decide to move them forward. A free volunteer application form template: the fields most nonprofits use, which to ask first, and which to save until you say yes. See a live sample. The grader and converter are free.
