The platform makes it easy for you to register their team for volunteering events that align with their interests. Follow the steps below to get started.
Before you start
- Navigate to Search giving activities page from your home page or the left-hand navigation bar.
- Browse through the various giving activities in the Volunteer tab.
- Select View when you have found a volunteering event that sparks your interest.
- On the event page, read the details of the volunteer event. Be sure to make a note of any requirements, such as waivers associated with the event. You will be emailed further details about this too after you have registered.

Register your team for a volunteering event
Step 1. Choose session time
- Use the drop-down menu to select a session time that suits your tea
Step 2. Enter the number of volunteers
- Enter the number of people you want to register in the text box.
Step 3. Sign up
- Select Sign up to begin the registration process.
Step 4. Search for your team
- Use the search for team field to find your team from the list of all teams in your company.
- Selecting your team will automatically copy all team members into the registration.
- Add other teams to the registration if you are organising volunteers across multiple teams.
- If needed, you can remove specific people from the list so they are not included in this registration.
Note: If people are added to your team after you have registered, they will not automatically be added to the volunteering event. They will need to register separately to save a spot on the day.
Similarly, if people are removed from a team after you have registered for the team, their registration to the volunteering event will not be automatically cancelled. Learn more about cancelling registrations here.
Step 5. Register other volunteers
- If you are registering additional people who aren't part of the team you searched for, search by their name or email address to add them as a registration. Otherwise, skip to step 6.
- Want to add friends and family, or additional participants outside of your company? If the event permits other volunteers, you will see an Add a public registration link to register for these volunteers.
Step 6. Nominate yourself as team leader
- As a team leader, you are in charge of coordinating the event to ensure a seamless experience for participants. Learn more about the role of team leader.
- Click Yes to nominate yourself as team leader. Otherwise, click No.
Note: If you are registering for others, you will not be able to express interest for the team leader role on behalf of them. They will have to get in touch with the volunteer coordinator to express their interest in the role afterwards. You may also include a note as part of the registration process (see step 9).
Step 7. Answer the required questions for registration (if applicable)
- Some events may require additional details to help organisers plan and accommodate your needs.
- For example, you may be asked to provide dietary requirements or choose volunteer shirt sizes to ensure the right fit is available for your team.
Step 8. Add your contact details
- Enter your phone number so the organiser can contact you about any urgent event updates. Though typically, email will be the primary channel for communication and updates.
Step 9. Message the volunteer coordinator
- Use the provided text box to send the event organiser extra details you would like them to know, or ask anything you need clarification on.
Step 10. Submit your registration
- Click the Confirm and submit button to complete your registration.
