After a volunteer has signed in and created an account, they will also have the option to create Volunteer Groups.
Volunteer Groups allow volunteers to come together as a collective group and request shift times for members to attend.
Note: If you're signed in to your Altruist account, you can click the My Groups tab at the top of your organization landing page or event webpages to access and create new Volunteer Groups.
After clicking My Groups, a pop-up window will list the groups you are already apart of and give you the option to create or join a new group by entering the Group Code.
To create a new group enter the following information and click the save button in the bottom right corner:
- A Group Name
- Your Email Address
- City, State, Zip
- Phone Number
- Brief Description of the Group
Once created, you'll be taken to the Group home page to start adding members. On the top navigation bar, select Group Members, then click the Add a Member button in the top right corner.
Tip: After creating the Volunteer Group, a unique group code will be assigned to it. You can find this code displayed under the group name. Feel free to share this code with others, allowing them to easily join the group on their own.
In addition, group leaders have the ability to manually add members to the group. To do so, simply enter the required information and click on the Add a Member button.
- First Name
- Last Name
- Email Address
- Address
- City, State, Zip Code
- Contact Phone Number
Tip: If your group member already has an Altruist account, you only need to enter their First Name, Last Name, and Email Address. The system will find their profile and carry over their profile picture, address, and contact information.
