What's inside

  • Volunteer Tracker (.xlsx) — volunteers, shifts with how many people you need, and sign-ups with status (signed up, confirmed, attended, no-show, cancelled) and hours. Each shift shows signed-up count and spots open; each volunteer shows shifts attended and hours logged; the dashboard shows shifts in the next 14 days that still need people, sign-ups to confirm, no-shows, and total hours. Repeated volunteer or shift names are flagged in red. Room for 300 volunteers, 300 shifts, 1,000 sign-ups. No macros.
  • Volunteer sign-up form — the questions to ask, with a short privacy notice and a clear yes/no photo permission.
  • Recruitment & reminder messages — 10 messages from a call for volunteers to reminders, cover requests, and a kind no-show check-in.
  • Role description & welcome — one-page role template, a welcome message, and an orientation checklist.
  • Event-day volunteer checklist — check-in, 3-minute briefing, safety, money handling basics, wrap-up.
