Volunteer Umbrella: Scheduling Scheduling Volunteers Each department can schedule their own volunteers in a way that works best for them. Activities can be created with a variety of scheduling styles
No schedule
Between two dates, but on the volunteer's own time
Event oriented shifts with dates and times
Regularly recurring with dates and times (daily, weekly & monthly)
Volunteers can be scheduled in a variety of ways
Directly from a volunteer's profile (when you are working with a single volunteer and want to place her/him in a selected activity)
Automatically when any volunteer signs up (when 'warm blooded' is the only criteria for volunteering)
Automatically when a pre-approved volunteer signs up (each branch / department can set its criteria for pre-approval for each of its activities)
From a list of volunteers who have signed up for the activity (and are qualified and don't have any overlapping assignments within the branch / department)
In all cases, the system can also be set to accept only a specified number of volunteers
signing up for each activity or each shift.
Color coding tells you which shifts are filled and which need your personal attention.
