The Volunteer module helps you organize people for events. There is a managed email correspondence with the volunteer, as well as the ability to rate their volunteer performance at the end. It allows admins to further designate users as volunteer coordinators who can be designated as the contact person for volunteers for an event.
This module now relies on the CiviCRM module to handle contact information for volunteers. The volunteer module is frequently used with the RSVP module to invite community members. The module allows for default settings, contact settings, message settings, and email settings.
You can
- give at least one user role, volunteer coordinate and volunteer maintain permissions at administer >> access control.
- administer default, contact, message and email settings at administer >> settings >> volunteer
