I think it's a great idea, but, you are assuming that all volunteers have access to the Web. That might currently be the case. However, that could change at any time. Will the school give volunteers access to this web-based application via a school computer? If that's the case, it doesn't even need to be web-based. You could create a simple .exe and drop it on the computer's desktop. Even VB Express can handle that. I would recommend some kind of group/user security because... I hate to say it, but I can easily see someone messing with the other volunteer's hours. That's only necessary if they're entering their own information. Web hosting shouldn't be a problem. I would imagine the school already has that set up.
