you might also invite people via mailing lists or on your website with a direct link to your activity.
like note that free accounts are designed for non-profits and small groups.
Premium members also get other useful perks, like being able to ask volunteers for their t-shirt size.
Volunteers can either sign up for an account or just give enough details to respond to your invitation.
The whole system is designed to make it easy for non-techy volunteers to respond and participate.
They nominate themselves for the days and tasks they want to do.
Activity co-ordinators have an equally simple set-up process, although they do need to create a proper account.
Activities can be created as ongoing rosters or as a stand-alone sign-up sheet for a one-off event.
Then simply list the tasks that need doing and the things that need to be brought to the event.
Take a look at thedemonstration videoto see just how easy it really is.
For volunteer co-ordinators, this system will save you much time and stress.
Many potential volunteers are put off by disorganisation and endless re-structuring.
Make it easy for people to help out and more people will help you.
