Setting Up Volunteer Positions

Before you can assign volunteers, you need to define what positions (serving roles) are needed for your event.

Before you begin

• You need the Admin or Staff role.
• You should have an event created. Positions work especially well with recurring events.

Step-by-step

1. Open the event and go to the Schedule tab. (For recurring events, this tab appears automatically.)

2. Click + Add Position.

3. Select a team. Choose which team this position belongs to — for example, "Worship Team" or "Hospitality Team."

4. Enter the position name. Type the specific role — like "Sound Tech," "Greeter," or "Usher."

5. Set how many are needed. Enter the number of volunteers you need for this position each time the event occurs.

6. Save the position.

Repeat for each position you need.

Where positions appear

• On the Schedule tab of your event, positions are listed under their team name.
• On the Schedule page in the sidebar, all your events with positions show up in a calendar grid.

Good to know

• You can add positions during event creation by turning on Enable volunteer requests in the event settings.
• Positions can be edited or removed at any time.
• Each position is tied to a specific team, which helps when assigning the right volunteers.
