Learn how to add guests to your reservation when joining an Opportunity.
Adding Guests
VOMO gives an organization the option to allow volunteers to bring guests to an Opportunity. So, if the Opportunity you are joining allows you to bring guests, simply click “Join” on the desired role. Then you can select the number of guests you are bringing by clicking the button with a "+" on it. You will notice that as you add a new guest, a field will appear below for you to fill in their first and last name and email address.
If you wish to bring more than 5 guests you will be prompted to create a request that is sent to the Opportunity Organizer for approval. Type in your reason for needing more guest spots, and the Organizer will be back with you shortly.
Editing Your Reservation
If you need to change the number of guests or edit their name or email, simply navigate back to the Opportunity and find time slot you signed up for. Click the now blue "Joined" button and then "Edit Spot" and you will be prompted to update any info you need to. Then click "Continue" to save the updates you made.
You can also chose to leave the time slot altogether or remove all of your guests as well.
How Guest Hours Are Tracked
Your guests' volunteer hours are handled differently depending on whether they provided an email address when you added them.
- Named guests (those with an email address) will appear at the Check-in Kiosk and check in and out on their own. Their hours are calculated based on their own check-in and checkout times.
- Anonymous guests (those without an email address) cannot check in at the kiosk. Instead, their hours are automatically recorded based on your check-in and checkout times — so when you check in, check out, or log a break, those same timestamps are applied to your anonymous guests.
In both cases, your guests' hours are credited to your Group for that Opportunity (if applicable), but anonymous guests are not added as permanent Group members.
