Create a volunteer shift signup

A volunteer signup lists the jobs you need filled, like Setup crew or Ticket table, and how many people each one needs. Parents claim a spot from one link with no account.

Steps

1. Go to Signups and click Create a signup. Pick Volunteers. You can also click Browse templates and pick Volunteer Shifts.
2. Under What's happening?, name it and add a short note for families. Click Continue.
3. Under When and where?, set the Date and Location, optional. Click Continue.
4. You can also set Max per family, optional, Keep a waitlist when full, Signups close, optional, and Reminder the day before at.
5. Under What do you need from families?, use Spots. Type each role and how many people it needs. Click Add a spot for more.
6. Open Signup form to ask for the student's name or up to three extra questions.
7. Check the preview under Looks good? and click Create and publish, or Save as draft.
8. Share the link or QR code from the signup page.

• Need shifts at set times? Use Times instead and pick Minutes per slot and People per slot.
