Why Email Volunteers?
This release includes updates to the volunteer perspective. Volunteers will see a new overlay when responding to opportunities.
Although this will not present any new information or stop them from signing up, you may get some questions about why there is a change. Because of this, we have created a template you may copy/paste into an Email Blast.
