Team Volunteering

Team volunteering enables you to join a team and volunteer for a project as a team. On the My Teams page, search and select a team that you want to join or create a team and invite others to join your team.

In team volunteering, the key aspects to consider are:

• Member role

• Selecting a volunteering project

• Setting team goal

• Tracking team progress

Member Role

The role that you take on in a team is either that of leader or member. If you create a team you automatically become the leader. Team leads can change the role of a member in the team by editing the team. As a leader or member you can invite your team for a volunteering project.

Selecting a Volunteering Project

You can select any approved volunteering project for your team. As a leader or member you can search for a volunteering project and add the volunteer team to that project. If you belong to multiple teams, you can select more than one team to volunteer for the project.

Setting Team Goal

Based on the scope of the volunteering project, you specify the volunteering goal hours for the team and invite team members to join the project. Members from the selected teams are notified and they register for the volunteering project, if interested.

Tracking Team Progress

When members log hours for a team volunteering project, it's reflected in the team's progress summary. The summary provides each volunteer member's contribution in achieving the team goal.

Private Team

You can make a volunteering team private on the My Team page and hide the information of team members from people who aren't part of the team. This means that other volunteers can't view members of a private team unless they too are on the team.
