Using Committees to Manage Shift Coverage

Updated over a month ago

👀 Do you need volunteers to manage their own shift coverage when they cancel? The Committees feature can help volunteers communicate their upcoming absence with other volunteers in the same role.

_________________________

👉 About Committees: When administrators create a committee and add volunteers to it, they can enable the option for the volunteers to send emails to the committee from the Contact Tab of MyImpactPage.

NOTE: Volunteers will not see who the other members are, only the option to email the committee as a whole

👉 Shift Management:

  1. When a volunteer needs to cancel a shift they will first remove themselves from the shift on their Schedule

  2. Next, they email the committee from the Contact tab to alert them of the opening

  3. Committee members will receive the email and log in to view the open shift and sign up if they are available

  4. If Self-Scheduling is enabled, the shift is now covered. If Self-Scheduling is not enabled, an admin will need to approve the appropriate pending sign up

NOTE: This process is dependent on the Activity settings allowing volunteers to remove themselves from shifts and qualified volunteers to sign up for openings.

🤩 Admin Tip: Admins can add themselves to the committee to be aware of those communications!
