If an Opportunity lets volunteers respond as a team, you'll see a button that says Respond As Team when you visit that Need/Opportunity page.

ℹ️ So you know: Some sites have language overrides in place. This means you might see Needs in place of Opportunities, Agencies in place of Programs, or Prerequisites in place of Qualifications.

Respond as a Team

  1. Go to Needs or Opportunities from your dashboard.

  2. Filter for opportunities that allow team responses. The options available here are dependent on the site and any language overrides they may have in place.

  3. Click the opportunity you want to respond to.

  4. Click Respond As Team—if the button is available.

    • You can also click the Respond As Team button beside the specific shift you want to volunteer for—if the opportunity has scheduled shifts.

  5. Give your team a title and add yourself by clicking Add Me.

    • You can also see important information about the Need/Opportunity on this screen to help you build and schedule your team.

  6. Now, you're ready to start adding volunteers to your team! Click Add Volunteer to start adding your coworkers, family, or friends!

    • You'll need to enter the volunteer's contact information and click Add Team Member to save your changes.

  7. Once you've added all of the volunteers to your team that you need, be sure to check the box under Leader to assign someone as your team leader.

    • Team leaders can manage all aspects of the team, including editing team and team member information, viewing submitted hours, adding or removing team members, and more.

    • Team members can't manage the team, but can accept or decline volunteer opportunities shared with them.

  8. When you finish building your team, click Continue to select when you want to volunteer!

  9. On this screen, you'll select the shifts that you want to volunteer as a team for.

    • If you want to respond to all available shifts for that Need/Opportunity—toggle the button beside Respond to All Shifts to On.

    • If you want to respond to individual shifts for that Need/Opportunity—check the box to the left of the Shift Begins date and time.

  10. Be sure to click Finish to save your changes.
