Plan a Single Event
Goal: Create a one-time event that's specific enough for volunteers to know what they're signing up for and structured enough that you can staff and run it cleanly.
Plan a Recurring Series
Goal: Stand up a repeating event — a weekly build day, monthly orientation, biweekly ReStore donation pickup — without manually re-creating it each time.
Manage Registrations and Waitlists
Goal: Keep your roster accurate as people register, withdraw, request slot changes, or fill from the waitlist.
Communicate with Registrants
Goal: Keep your registered volunteers informed — confirmations, reminders, last-minute changes, and post-event thanks — without sending anything that doesn't need to go.
Coordinate Tasks on Event Day
Goal: Break the day's work into named tasks, assign them, and let volunteers see what they're responsible for or pick up something open.
Check Volunteers In and Out
Goal: Capture who actually showed up — and for how long — so when you close the event, hours are accurate.
Close an Event and Record Hours
Goal: Wrap up the event, convert attendance into volunteer hours on each person's record, and credit any sweat equity to the right partner family.
