Collect Availability or Let Volunteers Pick a Shift?
Use Proximatic to schedule the people you have around their free hours, or let volunteers choose open shifts. Both give you a roster showing who will do each job.
Ask for a shift when the volunteer can choose the work. Ask for availability when you need to build the crew around the hours people have. Proximatic supports both, and either route can finish on the same event roster.
Let people take ready-to-fill jobs
For an open cleanup, publish litter picking from 9–11 and packing equipment from 11–noon. Volunteers see the hours and remaining places, then reserve the work that fits. You can see who's committed without turning a list of available hours into assignments yourself.
Schedule an existing crew
For a team covering several jobs, collect their availability in Proximatic and use Auto-Schedule. It matches available people to your shifts and shows the places still open. Review the roster, then fill those remaining jobs instead of treating every “free Saturday morning” as a promise to work the desk.
For more on scheduling an existing crew, see the availability guide.
