Find and sign up for a shift

Every volunteer opportunity at your school lives in one place — no more chasing a sign-up link from three newsletters ago.

Browse what’s available

1. Open Volunteering from the main menu.
2. Browse the open opportunities. Each shows what’s needed, when, where, and how many spots remain.
3. Tap one to see the details — the description, the shifts (specific time slots), and how many volunteers each shift still needs.

Opportunities often come with several shifts — setup crew Friday night, morning and afternoon shifts Saturday, cleanup Sunday. Each shift is claimed separately.

Sign up

1. Pick the shift that fits your schedule.
2. Tap Sign up.

That’s it. The credit lands on your family’s shared tally whoever in your household works the shift (see Understand your family’s commitment; in a split-household family, it lands on the household of the parent who signed up). The remaining-spots count updates for everyone else, and the shift appears in My shifts.

Looking to bring items, cover a snack week, or book a conference time instead? Those live in Sign-Up Sheets — see Sign up for items or a time slot.

My shifts

My shifts is your list of everything you’ve claimed — check it before committing the same Saturday twice. Each entry shows the details and gives you the option to cancel or change if plans shift — see Cancel or change a sign-up.

If a shift is full

Spots are first-come, first-served, and the app won’t overbook a shift — but full isn’t always final. When a full shift offers a waitlist, join it: if a family cancels, the first family on the waitlist is moved into the spot automatically. Popular events also often add shifts as the date approaches.
