# Volunteer Sign-Up Form Template > A fresh green sign-up for a volunteer crew: name, email and phone, when people are available, what they would enjoy doing and whether they are happy to appear in event photos. A Applications & intake template in the new Vonza Forms, “Volunteer sign-up”: Fresh green cover with availability and interests. ## What a volunteer sign-up form is for A volunteer sign-up form collects the people who want to help, when they can help and what they would like to do, so a coordinator can match volunteers to shifts without a chain of messages. This template asks for contact details, then two sets of checkboxes: availability by part of the week and the kinds of work on offer. A photo consent, which is optional, covers event photography. The thank-you screen welcomes each volunteer by first name and promises dates that match the availability they gave. ### Who uses it - Charities and community groups recruiting volunteers for regular activities. - Event organisers who need marshals, stewards and helpers. - Schools and parent associations looking for helpers at fairs and trips. - Churches and faith groups organising rotas for services and outreach. ## What’s in the template Every question exactly as the template builds it, page by page. Change, add or remove any of them in the editor. Form title: “Volunteer with Green City”. ### Questions Monthly park clean-ups, tree planting and community events. Join for an hour or a day. - **Name**: Name · required - **Email**: Email · required - **Phone**: Phone - **When are you free?**: Checkboxes · required · Weekday mornings, Weekday evenings, Saturdays, Sundays - **What would you enjoy?**: Checkboxes · Clean-ups, Tree planting, Events, Outreach - **I’m happy to appear in event photos.**: Consent ### Button and thank-you screen - Submit button: “Sign me up” - Thank-you screen: “Welcome to the crew, {{name.first}}!”, We’ll send the next dates that match your availability. ## How to customise it A template is a starting point: every word, question and colour stays editable. - **Your roles and shifts**: Edit the availability and interest options to your real shifts and roles, or use a Matrix block for days against times. - **Collect what you must check**: Add a Date block for date of birth, a File upload for a certificate, or a Consent block for your volunteer agreement. - **Print it as a QR code**: Download the form’s QR code as a PNG or SVG for posters and stalls, so people can sign up from their phone on the spot. - **One sign-up per person**: Allow one response per person by email address so the same volunteer is not on your list twice. ## What happens after someone submits The same Vonza Forms settings run behind every template. These are the ones this form uses. 1. **The response arrives in Responses**: Each response opens with every answer, the device and the time it took. Export all or some of them to CSV or Excel, or download one as a PDF. 2. **You and your team are told**: The email to you goes to you and up to five teammates on every response, with all the answers or a message you write, plus an in-app notification. 3. **The respondent becomes a CRM contact**: Everyone who leaves an email (here, “Email”) becomes a contact in your Vonza CRM, tagged with up to ten tags you choose. Existing contacts keep their details. 4. **They get a confirmation**: Turn on the email to the respondent, with your own subject and message, and attach their answers as a PDF. 5. **Automations and webhooks take over**: Use “Contact fills this form” in Automations to enrol people in a course, start an email sequence or add them to a list, or post each response to Zapier, Make or your own server with a webhook. Tag volunteers by what they enjoy, for example “tree planting”, so each group gets the dates that suit it from an automation or an email to that tag.

Filter Responses by the availability answer, or export to CSV or Excel. Tagging volunteers in your CRM by interest lets you email the right group for each date. ### Can volunteers sign up at an event? Yes. Download the QR code from the share dialog and print it; it opens the form on any phone. ### Can I ask for a waiver or agreement? Yes. Add a Consent block for a short statement, or an Agreement & e-sign block to show your full volunteer agreement and collect a signature. ### Can I stop sign-ups when we have enough people? Turn on “Limit responses” and the form closes after that many sign-ups, or set a closing date.
