Frequently Asked Questions
Do people need an account to view opportunities?
No. Anyone can view opportunities directly on your BoosterSpark website.
How are volunteers reminded about their shifts?
Automatic reminder emails go out 48 hours and 3 hours before each commitment. A "thank you" email is sent 15 minutes after a shift ends.
Can volunteers see who else is on their shift?
Yes. Volunteers can view the names of others assigned to the same opportunity to coordinate in advance.
What if we change or cancel an opportunity?
Volunteers automatically receive notifications whenever you modify or cancel an opportunity.
Can we import signups collected offline?
Absolutely. When a volunteer commits verbally, via email, etc, administrators can manually import them to add them to reports and prevent others from signing up for the same slot.
How do we spread the word about new opportunities?
BoosterSpark emails daily updates to subscribers whenever your club publishes new volunteer opportunities.
