Set up volunteer teams and positions
A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 8 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.
How to set up volunteer teams and positions
- 1Click Volunteers under People in the sidebar
- 2Open the Teams & positions tab
- 3Click Add team, fill Team name (and an optional Description, shown under the team's name), click Add team
- 4Click the new team in the list on the left to open it
- 5Click Add position, fill Position name, and tick Requires a current fingerprint clearance if the role needs one
- 6Click Add position — the position shows as a chip; the shield means clearance is required
- 7Click Add member, search a volunteer, pick a Usual position (optional), click Add member
- 8A member whose usual position requires clearance shows Cleared or Needs clearance; the team's row on the left counts who needs clearance
Part of Volunteers & service hours
Post the jobs a term actually needs, let families claim a spot or answer a direct request, keep fingerprint clearances current, and hand the board an hours report at year end.
