A Program Manager runs one or more specific programs in your organisation. Promote a volunteer to Program Manager when you want them to handle the day-to-day management of a program — creating activities, managing rosters, reviewing reports and overseeing applicants.
For a full list of what Program Managers can do, see Volaby Permissions.
Adding a Program Manager
You need to be an Admin to add Program Managers. The volunteer also needs to already be a member of the program — if they're not, add them to the program first.
Navigate to Program Management
Click on the program you want to assign the manager to
Scroll down to the Managers section and click Edit Managers
Click Add Manager at the bottom of the section
Click the Select Volunteer dropdown
Search for the volunteer by name and click their name to select
Click Add Manager to confirm
The volunteer is now a Program Manager for that program.
A few things to know
A program can have more than one Program Manager — useful when you want to share the management load
A volunteer can be a Program Manager of more than one program — useful when one person oversees several
Program Managers only see and manage the programs they're assigned to. They don't get access to other programs or to organisation-wide settings.
Removing a Program Manager
You need to be an Admin to remove Program Managers.
Navigate to Program Management and click the program
Scroll to the Managers section and click Edit Managers
Click the X next to the Program Manager you want to remove
Confirm to remove them
Removing a Program Manager doesn't remove them from the program or from Volaby — it just demotes them to a regular member of that program.
