Assign Volunteer Types to Volunteers

After you configure different volunteer types, you can assign them to volunteers. You can assign multiple volunteer types to a single volunteer. For information about how to configure volunteer types, see Volunteer Types.

When you assign a volunteer type with an associated screening plan, the status of the volunteer type is automatically set to "Pending." The volunteer type becomes active when the volunteer completes all steps of the required screening plan. When you assign a volunteer type that is not associated with a screening plan, the status of the volunteer type is automatically set to "Active." For information about screening plans, see Screening Plans.

To assign a volunteer type to a volunteer, on the General tab, select Assign under Volunteer types. You can select the volunteer type, enter start and end dates, and view the name of the screening plan associated with the type.
