Volunteer assignments for events

If the Workforce module is active on your org, you can enable volunteer assignments on any event. This connects Events directly to the Workforce Assignments tab.

Enabling volunteers on an event:
1. Edit an event → scroll to the Volunteer Management section
2. Check "Enable volunteer assignments"
3. Save the event

Once enabled, a Volunteers panel appears in the event detail view (visible to org editors only).

Assigning a volunteer:
1. Open the event detail → expand the Volunteers panel
2. Search for any worker enrolled as a volunteer in your org
3. Select a volunteer — a Workforce assignment is created automatically with the event linked

Removing a volunteer:
• Click Remove next to any assigned volunteer in the panel
• The linked Workforce assignment is deleted

Viewing event assignments in Workforce:
• All event-linked assignments appear in Workforce → Assignments
• Assignments created from an event show a purple "Event" badge
• Filtering by the volunteer's name shows all events they are assigned to

Note: Only workers with the Volunteer type are searchable in the volunteer picker. Enroll org members as volunteers via Workforce → People → + Add Worker first.
