How to Get the First Volunteers for Your Event
Give people specific jobs and a free Proximatic signup. As the first volunteers choose shifts, you can see which job to ask the next person to take.
Start an empty signup with jobs people can picture themselves doing. “Help us run Saturday” leaves a lot to work out. “Set up the community hall from 8–9:30 with the event lead” gives someone a useful first commitment.
Create those jobs in Proximatic, with their hours and places, and publish one event link. Ask your first helpers to take a shift, then share the same page with community groups and other people who could enjoy the work. Each yes becomes a name on the roster rather than another reply for you to follow up.
Build the next invitation from that roster. Once setup has its crew, welcome may still need two people. You can ask for that job specifically while keeping the other open shifts available to anyone whose day fits differently.
Create your event signup and start filling the jobs.
