You can use HackerSquad to organize volunteers for your event. Create volunteer opportunities in the event management portal, then invite your community to register for those roles. Those opportunities appear on the Builder Dashboard as a Volunteer button for each event. This makes it easier for community members to see where they can help and sign up for the work that fits them best. Volunteer Button

​
Why volunteer opportunities matter

Volunteer opportunities help you turn general interest into clear responsibilities. The more specific you are about what needs to happen, the easier it is for people to step in and help. For example, you can create volunteer opportunities for:
  • Support check-in and registration
  • Support lunch catering
  • Help direct attendees at the venue
  • Assist with setup or teardown
HackerSquad helps you see who is signing up for what, but it does not remove the need to coordinate people directly. You should still confirm assignments, timing, and expectations with your volunteers.
