Our Favorite Planning Tool for Service Projects

Creating Activity Schedules

Since Service Projects don’t have a set day or time they occur, the Service Project Activity Schedule provides a convenient way to track who is serving and at what times. This feature is ideal for planning out when volunteers or groups intend to serve.


This feature allows you to construct a framework for schedules, providing the perfect tool for planning upcoming participation in your existing Service Projects.


When implementing this schedule, volunteers don’t receive any default credit hours. Instead, it allows you to track their planned volunteering times and easily log the actual hours served with just a few clicks.

Schedule Out Your Posting Dates

Using this "set-it and forget-it" feature

Each opportunity you create allows you to conveniently choose a Scheduled Posting Date. This feature lets you pick a precise date and time to automatically publish the opportunity on your Event Listing page, giving you the flexibility to create opportunities ahead of time when it's most convenient for you.


This tool is perfect for events with high interest, where you anticipate registrations filling quickly, but can be used for any event you are looking to set and forget! For more information and full instructions on how to use the Scheduled Posting Date feature, click here.
