On an Event

Once you’ve created at least one volunteer role, you can ask for volunteers on any event.

Turn on volunteers

When you add or edit an event, you’ll see a Volunteers section (it only appears when volunteering is on your plan and you have at least one role set up).

• Enable Ask For Volunteers.
• Tick the roles you need for this event.
• For each role you can set a maximum number of volunteers. Leave it blank for no limit.

You must pick at least one role when asking for volunteers.

Let non‑members volunteer (optional)

Enable Create Share Link for Non‑Members to generate a link you can send to people who aren’t members of your mesh, so they can volunteer too. This requires Ask For Volunteers to be on.

To copy the link, use the Get Volunteer Link button on the event and copy it from the Volunteer sign‑up link box. The link is valid for one year.

Repeating events

For a repeating event, the roles you choose apply to every occurrence by default. To change a single date, edit that occurrence and use its Volunteer Roles section:

• Tick roles (and set limits) to override just that occurrence, or
• Leave it unticked to inherit the event’s roles.

See Occurrences for editing individual dates.

What members see

When an event is asking for volunteers, it shows a Volunteers needed badge in the events list, and a Volunteer section on the event page. See Volunteering.

The event’s notification email also lists the roles you’re looking for, so members know at a glance.
