Introduction

One time Events allow you to have jobs that happen only once or not on a routine schedule.

Some example uses for events:

• Fundraisers
• Training Sessions
• Outreach Programs
• Help for administrative tasks

Features and Functions

Events have the following details:

• Name
• Date
• Description
• Public Flag - Events marked public will be displayed on the public help wanted page.
• Mileage & Hours - Track volunteer miles and time credits for your volunteers. Credits are awarded when event is closed.
• Workers Assigned/Required - as with regular job shifts, if the number of workers assigned for an event in the future is less than the Required number, the event is displayed with a pink background.

Upcoming and past events are listed and maintained from the One-Time Events page under the Jobs menu.

• Weekly Schedule
• Daily Schedule
• Public Help Wanted Page (if flagged as public and do not have number of required workers met)

Details:

• Volunteers can sign themselves up from the public Help Wanted Page and be approved automatically on a per contact basis (similar to sign up for routine jobs.)
• The system automatically tracks volunteer hour and mile credits for event participation. Credits are awarded when the event is closed out.
