Volunteer role description

As a volunteer coordinator, you may decide that you want any volunteers assigned to a particular role to see a narritive description specific to that role. This text could contain instructions for how to perform that role on the day of the workshop, logistical information specific to that role, etc. Because its possible you may want several roles to share the same description, creating a volunteer role description is a seperate step from creating a volunteer role (see How to create a volunteer role description). After creating a volunteer role description, you can assign it to volunteer roles. (see How to assign descriptions to volunteer roles)

If a volunteer role has an assigned description, anyone assigned to that role will see that description when they navigate to their post sign up page for that event.

If you assign a description to the "unassigned" volunteer role, any volunteer that is "unassigned" will see that description. ALSO, any volunteer assigned to a volunteer role that does not have its own description assigned to it, will see the "unassigned" volunteer role's description. Basically, assigning a description to the "unassigned" volunteer role makes that description the default description volunteers see.

If a volunteer is shown a description on their post sign up page, they will also be told the name of their assigned role.
