Who this template is for

Nonprofits, school PTAs, faith communities, and grassroots organizers run this template for everything from a single fundraising weekend to ongoing shift rosters. It captures availability, skills, transportation, and shirt size in one pass — the questions you would otherwise email back and forth about for a week. Because every volunteer lands as a Contact in your CRM Cubby, the same record that captured the signup also tracks training completion, shifts worked, hours logged, and your annual thank-you list.

How it fits your volunteer workflow

Each submission becomes a Contact in your CRM Cubby, tagged with the program and shift preference. Filter by skill or availability to assign roles, send a confirmation, and attach the orientation packet as a Note. After the event, the same Contact tracks hours logged and counts toward your annual volunteer-recognition list. Recurring programs reuse the same record across shifts — no duplicate signups, no "wait, are you on Saturday?" texts.

What's included

The essentials for placing a volunteer the same week they sign up. Every field is editable — rename, reorder, or remove anything in the editor.

Customization notes

Most organizers add a "background check on file" checkbox, an emergency contact field, and a multi-select for which shifts a volunteer is available. For minors, add a parent/guardian email and a waiver-acknowledgment checkbox. For physical events, a shirt-size field saves a follow-up email later.
