Schedule a group of volunteers with one volunteer profile

Follow

Group volunteers are used to represent groups (like Knights of Columbus or the youth group) that are filling multiple volunteer roles at a given service. You do not need to know the names and contact information for the individual volunteers the group will be sending – just the primary contact for the group. When placing a group in the schedule, you will be able to specify how many people from that group are needed/expected.

Creating a group

  1. Go to the Volunteers pane on the left hand side of MSP, and click the "New Volunteer..." button
  2. Name the group, check the "Is a group" box, add any information you have for the main contact of the group, and qualify the group for the appropriate ministries

Self sign-up as a group

The group contact can also sign up for slots online through the Web Terminal by clicking "Volunteer now" for any available positions at a service, and will not be limited in the number of open positions they sign up for in the qualified ministries.
