Staff a volunteer event and send the requests
A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 9 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.
How to staff a volunteer event and send the requests
- 1Click Volunteers under People in the sidebar
- 2Open the Schedule tab and click the event
- 3Click Add position need
- 4Pick the Position and set How many people?
- 5Click Add — the card shows 0/N confirmed
- 6Click Ask on the position's card
- 7Type in Search volunteers… — anyone blocked out that day is labeled "blocked out this day" in the list
- 8Pick one or more volunteers (asking more than the spots you need is fine) and click Ask them — the first to say yes take the spots and the rest are told it's covered
- 9Click "Send N requests" in the event header to email them
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.
