An Activity Leader manages a specific activity — building rosters, overseeing the team, reviewing session reports. Promote a volunteer to Activity Leader when you trust them to run an activity day-to-day without needing a Program Manager involved at every step.
For a full list of what Activity Leaders can do, see Volaby Permissions.
Activity Leader is assigned per activity. A volunteer can be an Activity Leader for one activity and a regular volunteer in others. They can be Activity Leaders for several activities at the same time.
Adding an Activity Leader during activity creation
When you're creating a new activity, you can promote team members to Activity Leaders right in the Add Team step of the wizard:
Add volunteers to the activity team
Click the star icon next to a volunteer's name to mark them as Activity Leader
Continue through the wizard and save
The star icon toggles — click it again to unmark. An Activity Leader badge appears next to their name in the team list.
Adding an Activity Leader on an existing activity
For activities that already exist:
Navigate to Activity Management and open the activity
Find the Team Information section
Click Edit to enter edit mode
Click on a volunteer's name to promote them to Activity Leader
Click on the name again to remove the Activity Leader status
Click Save to apply your changes
You'll see an "Activity Leader" badge appear next to their name once promoted.
Permissions
You need to be a Program Manager (for the program the activity belongs to) or a Volaby Admin to promote volunteers to Activity Leaders.
The volunteer must already be on the activity team. If they're not, add them to the team first.
