What are groups?

Groups are key for event privacy and help you organize your volunteers more efficiently.

Groups make it easier for admins to manage and engage with volunteers. Creating groups based on roles, qualifications, skills, or even employers can help keep things organized. Volunteers can be added to multiple groups, and you can also create subgroups, like grade levels, committees, or teams, to further organize your volunteers.
