Programs are how you organise your volunteering operations in Volaby. Each program groups a set of activities, volunteers, and managers together. Most organisations have one program per location, service type, or team.
Creating a program
Navigate to Program Management
Click Create Program in the sidebar
Enter a Name and optional Description
Configure the program settings (see below)
Click Save Basic Info
Once saved, you can add an image, assign managers, and start adding volunteers and activities.
Program settings
Volunteers Must Apply
When enabled, volunteers must apply and be approved by a manager or admin before they can join the program. When off, volunteers can join freely.
Hidden Program
When enabled, only volunteers who are already members of the program can see it. Use this for internal programs like staff groups or leadership teams where you don't want volunteers browsing and applying.
Permissions
Only Admins can create programs.
