What is an assignment?
Your assignments are the folks you’ll be responsible for engaging during your time as a volunteer. They could be friends, acquaintances, classmates, roommates, etc.
Fun Fact: Did you know that members of our community are 44% more likely to give when they hear from a volunteer? Your assignments don’t need to be people that you know super well—it’s more important that people hear from a volunteer at all!
I requested an assignment, but I don’t see them on the ‘My Assignments’ tab?
Depending on what type of volunteer you are, these assignments may need to be reviewed and approved or they may become assigned to you automatically!
One of my classmates is listed as ‘Unselectable’—what does that mean?
A constituent could be unselectable for any number of reasons—they might not want to be contacted at all, they might be in close conversations with a member of our team, or they might already be assigned to another volunteer.
If you think you’d still be a great person to engage this person, let us know! We can manually assign you on the back end.
Why don’t I see an email button for one of my assignments?
This means that we don’t have an active email on file for this person, so there’s no way to email them!
If you know their email, you can provide that to us by clicking ‘Add Note’ for that assignment, and providing that updated contact information.
