Are you a company, school, or faith-based group interested in volunteering with a nonprofit on Golden? With Golden's Custom Reservation feature, you can reserve spots for public volunteer opportunities, and manage volunteers from your group with ease. After reaching out to the nonprofit and requesting a reservation, follow these simple steps for getting your group reservation set up!
Step 1: Claim Your Invitation
Once you have confirmed the opportunity, timeslot, and number of volunteers you would live to bring with the organizer, you should receive an email confirming that a Custom Reservation has been made for your group.
In this email, you can Manage Your Group, as well as manage other reservations you have made with the organization. By clicking the Manage Reservations tab, you will be brought to a page where you can monitor the opportunities your group has participated in the past, and monitor volunteer activities among your group.
2. Managing Your Reservation
If you click on the Manage Group button, you will be brought to a page that allows you to manage the Custom Reservation that was made for your group. In this window, you can cancel guest reservations, message your team, and fill incomplete reservations through generating a link that you can share with your colleagues, classmates, or friends. You will also get access into the Event Opportunity, Time Slot, Organizer, and Opportunity Manager.
3. Completing Registrations
You can add participants from your team to a Custom Reservation in several ways.
Option 1: Sending a Share Link
When you click on the Manage Group button in your email, you can generate a share link that you can send to your colleagues. By clicking on the share link, you will be brought to a page where you can register for the opportunity.
Option 2: Send the Organizer a Spreadsheet
You can send the organizer of the event a copy of volunteers you'd like to register for this opportunity. When creating your spreadsheet, please generate 3 separate columns: first name, last name, and email of the volunteers from your group you are registering.
