Available Shifts
The Available Shifts page in the Volunteer Portal lets volunteers browse open shifts and sign up for them.
Finding available shifts
From the portal, click Available Shifts in the navigation. Open shifts are shown in a weekly calendar grid, organized by job, for the current and upcoming weeks — use the week navigation to look ahead. Only shifts the volunteer is eligible for appear; some jobs require specific skills or completed requirements to sign up.
Signing up for a shift
Click Sign Up on the shift.
Review the details in the confirmation pop-up (job, date, time, and any description).
Click Confirm Sign Up to take the shift.
If the job requires staff approval, the button reads Request Sign Up instead, and the shift shows as Pending Approval until staff review it. Approved shifts appear on the Home page, and the volunteer is notified of the decision based on their notification preferences.
