Purpose

Volunteer programs empower team members to take action to help communities thrive. Wherever possible, Event Managers can bring the program to life locally by creating Events for which employees can register on the platform. In cases where using the platform to manage Event registration is not possible, a "Find Volunteer Opportunities" Campaign can showcase preferred partnerships or resources to help Users identify local opportunities to volunteer.

<aside> ☝ NOTE: Admin permissions are required to create and edit a Campaign in the Management Panel. If you do not have access to Management Panel, please contact your program administrator to modify your permissions.
