The Volunteering function allows a club to post volunteering opportunities for which members (and optionally, non-members) can sign up.
A volunteering opportunity might cover multiple days, with multiple “slots” within a day, each of which needs multiple people, each of whom might be doing different tasks.
- Opportunity = Jumble Sale from Thu-Sun
- Slot 1: Thu from 9-12: 4 people needed for setup
- Slot 2: Thu from 12-3: 4 people needed for setup
- Slot 3: Fri from 9-11: 2 people needed at the registration desk
- Slot 4: Fri from 9-11: 2 people needed on the floor to help
- Slot 5: Fri from 9-11: 1 person at the checkout and payment table
You can link a volunteering opportunity to an event in the calendar. When such a link is specified, two things happen:
A Volunteer button appears on the Event View details page. Clicking this button takes you to the volunteering opportunities page to show needs and available slots for that specific opportunity.
The event title appears as a link on the Volunteering Opportunities page. Clicking this button jumps to the event that the opportunity is linked to.
A volunteering opportunity can be made available to non-members. If the function is on the public side of the website, they can sign up on their own. At a minimum, they need to enter first and last name, phone and email address; they will be added to the non-member database with a new “Volunteer” system category, or another category if specified. Within an opportunity, you can also make selected slots available to members only or to non-members as well. The slot can be visible to everyone, or only to members.
Clubs can also use this module to track required work hours each year (for example, some clubs require members to volunteer for X hours each year on club tasks.)
