New: Let Volunteers Sign Up as a Group for Your Opportunities

By: Volunteer Success

We’ve just launched a new feature that makes it easier for people to volunteer together. Volunteers can now sign up for your opportunities as a group whether it’s with friends, classmates, coworkers, or community teams.

When a volunteer creates a group, they can invite others to join and sign up together. You’ll be able to see the group name, the number of participants, and manage the group just like you would individual sign-ups.

You can now allow groups to sign up for both event-based and ongoing opportunities. To enable this on your posting, simply edit the opportunity and select the option to allow group sign-ups. From there, you can also set a maximum number of volunteers a group can bring, based on the number of spots you have available.

This update helps organizations welcome teams, families, and student clubs who want to give back together. It’s perfect for company volunteer days, school events, or anyone who prefers to volunteer in a group setting.

Want to give it a try? Log in and edit any of your active opportunities to enable group sign-ups today.

We’d love to hear how this new feature works for you. Share your thoughts through our short feedback survey: Click Here
