How do I sign up a group of people for an Opportunity?

Last Update há um dia
Through the Volunteer Portal and Dashboard, volunteers and Opportunity Hosts have the ability to sign up groups and ensure everyone has a place to serve together.
There are three common situations where a point person may need to register multiple individuals at once:
- For volunteers using the Volunteer Portal
- For Opportunity Hosts using the Dashboard
- For corporate or school organizers using the Dashboard
For Volunteers
Volunteer-facing help article
Add a “+1” (or more!)
Many Hands On Atlanta Opportunities allow volunteers to add additional guests, also known as “+1s,” during the registration process. Simply select the appropriate option during signup and enter the required information for each guest to reserve their spot.
Please note that some Opportunities may have specific registration requirements and may not allow additional guests. If the “+1” option is unavailable, additional participants may need to register separately or follow the Opportunity Host’s instructions.
For Opportunity Hosts via the Dashboard
Manually register volunteers with "Add Participant Sessions":
Organizers and admins have the option to manually add participants to an opportunity from the Participants tab by using the "Add Participant Sessions" feature.
You will have an option to type/choose your participants from a drop-down menu, or you can use a spreadsheet to upload participants. If you are adding participant sessions for an opportunity that has already past you can also directly add hours for the uploaded participants.
For Corporate or School organizers via the Dashboard
Sign up volunteers for opportunities hosted by 3rd parties:
Our "Curate" section is used by organizers to find Opportunities hosted by 3rd parties - like companies searching for local non-profits on behalf of their employees.
Each Opportunity found in the "Curate" section can either be recommended to your volunteers (your volunteers will receive a notification!) or you can click Sign Up to directly register participants for an opportunity (and they'll receive a confirmation email!).
Best practice tip: This option is great for companies who want to add their employees to opportunities!
