Volunteers

Attendees have the option to fill out a volunteer application form, listing out their availability, their preferred contacts methods, and what departments they are interested in helping.

An application can have these distinct states to a department:

  • Interested: User is interested in participating in this department.
  • Previous Experience: User has previously helped in a department.
  • Avoid: User does not want to be part of this department.
  • Requested (Internal): A department lead has requested this user to be assigned to their department.
  • Assigned (Internal): The volunteer has been assigned by an admin to the department.

Human Resources​

Adminstators with the hr role can manage the volunteer settings, manage departments, and assign volunteers to departments.

Departments​

Each department can be assigned leads, look at un-approved volunteer applications, and request applications to be assigned to their department.

Departments leads must also be assigned the user role to have access to their housekeeping pages.

Staff​

Adminstators can also assign volunteers as staff, (TODO: Why?), and give users a voucher. The value of the voucher can be configured on the configuration page.
