Signing up for a volunteer job
Once a member or guardian has logged into their dashboard, they can click on "Events." Events with open volunteer slots will show a green banner that says, "volunteers needed."
When they click on the event, they'll see the event details and all volunteer opportunities associated with that event, they'd click "Sign up" to reserve their slot. They'll see all the names of people who have signed up for that opportunity.
Volunteers can remove themselves from a volunteer opportunity they have signed up for by clicking "Delete" next to their name.
