How to back out of a volunteer shift

  1. 1Click Volunteering in the portal menu — it sits under More when the top row is full.
  2. 2Under "Your upcoming schedule", find the shift you can no longer make — each row shows the position, event, time, and location.
  3. 3Click "Can't make it" on that row.
  4. 4The shift leaves your schedule and the spot opens back up for the office to refill.
  5. 5Changed your mind? While the spot is still free, it's back under "Open spots" — click "Sign up" to take it again. If your school schedules volunteers itself, ask the office instead.

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.
