Volunteer schedule template
Named shifts with capacity — setup crew, greeters, cleanup.
Volunteer coordination falls apart when nobody knows how many people each job needs. Named shifts with capacities show exactly where the gaps are — and volunteers pick the job they actually want instead of being assigned one.

How to run it well
- Name shifts by task and time ("Setup crew, 8–10am"), not just "Volunteer #3" — people sign up faster for concrete jobs.
- Set realistic capacities; a shift showing 0 of 4 filled recruits harder than a vague "we need help".
- Add a floater slot for reliable people who'll fill whatever gap appears on the day.
- Send one blast midweek if key shifts are still open — it goes to everyone already signed up, who know people.
