Manage nonprofit volunteers
Overview
Use the nonprofit volunteer workspace to review participants, assignments, activity and follow-up.
Where to find it
Social users can open Volunteer to find opportunities. Organizations use Programs & Activities for opportunities and Volunteer & event check-in for attendance; volunteer management is also linked from the nonprofit home.
How it works
- Open the correct opportunity or volunteer record and verify its organization, role and dates.
- Complete the sign-up, assignment or hours action described in the overview.
- Provide only accurate participation information and avoid duplicate submissions.
- Check the resulting sign-up, approval or activity status.
Important details
Volunteer sign-up, event attendance and approved volunteer hours are related but distinct records. Select the correct opportunity and avoid estimating or duplicating hours.
If something does not look right
- Confirm the signed-in profile and current workspace shown in the page header.
- Capture the page address, time and exact visible error.
- Do not include passwords, API keys, bank details or full card data.
- Ask GoodAction Support when the expected control remains unavailable or the saved result differs from this article.
