How to Use Volunteering Events
Our event feature is set to be flexible to your needs. Essentially, it is an internal tool to organise and manage your event activities under “one roof”.
You can choose to create events to run company-wide volunteering days, seasonal programs, micro-events for each office location or if you have specific charity partnership that may have a group of activities you want to organise under one event.
This screen will allow you to see and manage your events on your platform.
