Which Volunteer Jobs Should You Fill First?

See each job, time and open place on your Proximatic roster. Ask for the people your event needs most and give leads time to adjust work you can't fill.

A nearly full roster can still leave you unable to open. The last welcome place may matter more than all the optional decoration jobs combined.

Add each job to Proximatic with its hours and the number of people needed. Let volunteers choose shifts, or use Auto-Schedule to assign the available people on your team. Check the roster to see which jobs still have fewer people than you need.

At a community fair, the welcome desk needs a person before guests arrive. Extra decoration can be reduced if nobody takes it. Focus the next invitation on the open welcome shift. Find cover can show people on your team who can take that job at the time you need them. Agree on the job with the person you choose and save their assignment.

You may also decide to move someone from a less urgent job. Agree on the change with them, update their assignment and check the job they’re leaving. If decoration still has enough people, you’ve filled the welcome desk without leaving another team short.
