SIGN-UP TO VOLUNTEER!
|
Volunteer sign-up is easier than ever thanks to the use of SuperSaaS, a scheduling software new to Field for the 09-10 school year.
An account has been set-up for our school and is ready to be utilized for upcoming events. A volunteer will create his/her own account with a few quick clicks during the first online visit. After account registration, each volunteer will have access to available shifts and have the ability to schedule his/her own participation. All volunteers can view which shifts are open, which shifts are full, and the names of other volunteers scheduled for any given shift. Please look for a link from the Field website homepage as well as links in upcoming volunteer requests sent via e-mail.
