Is volunteer coordination connected to our event?
Yes. Volunteer applications, shifts and check-ins support event operations. Event tasks and schedules provide the wider plan. Each module retains its own records and permissions.

Manage payment setup in Settings → Organization → Payments.
Applications with a review process
Collect volunteer applications and review them before approval. Use information requests to identify missing details. A coordinator remains responsible for reviewing responses and deciding whether an applicant is ready for the role.
Shifts tied to the event
Organize event shifts and assignments so coordinators can review who is scheduled. Use clear role names and arrival instructions for registration desks, room support, setup or other duties your program needs.
Check-ins and on-site coordination
Record volunteer check-ins and use the event schedule to guide the day. Decide who handles a late arrival or an unfilled position before the event; software records support that decision but do not replace a coordinator.
Event tasks alongside staffing
Keep preparation tasks, due dates and the program schedule in the event workspace. Give leads appropriate access so they can track their own work without distributing every applicant detail to the entire team.
Clear information boundaries
Set roles and permissions for the people reviewing applications and managing the event. Collect only the details needed for each role, and use approved channels for sensitive information rather than putting it in general notes.
Screening and employment services
Not yet availableBackground checks, payroll and a dedicated volunteer credential-verification service are not included. Your organization must arrange any required screening, training and safeguarding procedures separately.
A practical workflow for your team
Step 1
Define the work before recruiting
List the roles, shift times, meeting points and responsible leads. Identify which duties require training or separate screening before asking people to apply.
Step 2
Review and prepare each volunteer
Review applications, request missing information and record approval. Coordinate assignments and share the arrival plan. Follow up with people whose responses are still missing.
Step 3
Run the shift and review the program
Use check-ins to record arrivals and have a lead manage changes. Afterward, gather feedback and record outstanding tasks so the next coordinator can understand what happened.
A clear starting point.
Frequently asked questions
Does the platform automatically approve applicants?
Coordinators review applications and make approval decisions. Information requests show what is missing; your team reviews responses and follows up.
Can we use it for charity events and community programs?
The event volunteer workflows can support those programs. Define your own roles, instructions and review process, and check plan limits before recruiting a large team.
Are background checks or payroll included?
No. Background checks, payroll and dedicated volunteer credential verification are not included. Arrange required screening and training through your own processes.
Can every volunteer see all applicant information?
Access depends on organization and event permissions. Give each person the role they need, review access before the event, and avoid collecting unnecessary personal information.
