VolunteerHub Instruction Guide

VolunteerHub is our friend J

 

 How group leaders may assist volunteers with registering for events online

 

Prior to 4/13/09 every group leader with confirmed 2009 Building on Faith volunteer participation slots will be contacted to receive a join code to begin the volunteer registration process. As a result of feedback from our past volunteer experiences, we have adopted a new volunteer management system, VolunteerHub. With this tool, your group will be able to easily sign-up directly on-line for your group event. The following 10-step instruction guide has been created to ease the transition period. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact Janelle Beverly at 248-338-1843 x226 or email volunteer@habitatoakland.org
