Can I have parents volunteer to help with stuff? – Studio Pro

You are able to keep up with volunteer lists and have parents sign up to volunteer to help with your events.

To set this up you must first go to More > Tickets & Events and then add an event or select an event you added previously.

Next, click Volunteers in the left menu. The first step you must do on the Volunteers page is Add a Role. A role is the job that the parents will do, and you can have multiple roles for an event.

When you add a role the system will ask you for How many you need in that role and a Description. What you enter here will be used when parents sign up to help online.

**For example, if you need 5 of a certain job you would enter 5 and once 5 had signed up, the system would get other parents to sign up for other roles. The description is also used in online signup to give parents an idea of what they are signing up for.

Once you have your roles entered you can set up online signup and also add volunteers to the list manually. To add a volunteer manually click the Add Volunteer button.

In the popup select the role they will be helping with, search for their name and click on their name, and enter any notes. Then click Add Volunteer.

That parent now shows up on the tab for the role you selected.

After you have added your roles you are also able to set up online signup. To set up online volunteer signup click the "Edit this setting" link, fill in the form, and click Save.

With online signup turned ON, parents can then sign into their portal accounts and volunteer to help. After they login they can either go to Register > Volunteer:

Now they see all of the roles you have entered along with descriptions and can click Sign Me Up to be added to the volunteers' list for that event.
