Adding Volunteer Requests

Purpose:

Using the Airtable form for adding volunteer requests will add it to the volunteer request schedule. Please submit this form 4-6 weeks in advance of the event.

Steps:

    • The start of the description the volunteers will see.
      • After the program, volunteers see role, date, time.
      • Note: Keep these descriptions brief!
        • Pictured below are the two views volunteers can see. In mobile, excess words are sometimes cut off.
        • A volunteer can pick "sign-up" from the gallery view, which prepopulates the form with their selected event.
