How can I as an admin add a parent (or other) as a volunteer to a volunteer opportunity?

If you are an admin, or an owner of an event that has volunteer opportunities, you can add other people as a volunteer. 

You may need to do this if the person does not have access to CP, or as simply asked you to sign them up. 


Here are the steps:

  1. Go to where the event is defined, and click the details button.
  2. Click the Add/Modify Sign Ups button to go the Volunteer Opportunities area for that event
  3. Click the Opportunities/Sign Ups Table Tab (see below image)
  4. Click the Sign Up button for which you want to add a volunteer
  5. On the New Sign Up form, DO NOT select yourself or a family member. Instead, begin typing the name of the person that you want to sign up in the field provided below the family drop down
  6. Select the person you want to sign up from the displayed list, enter a note, if required, and click the Sign Up! button to complete the sign up. 
  7. The selected person will be sent a notification that they have been signed up, and will also automatically receive the reminders.
