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:

1. Go to Request Volunteer Staff

   

   • Note: You can also find this through the Staff page on the MoHA Wiki.

   

   • If signing in requires a password, use "mohahaha" (all lowercase).
2. Programs
   • The program you need volunteers for.
   • 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.

   

   

3. Volunteer Description
   • Note: Once again, this should be BRIEF.
     • 15 characters or less.

   • These instructions will be texted and emailed to the volunteer.
