Argenta provides three connected concepts for managing volunteers effectively.
Volunteers
A Volunteer is a person who donates their time to your organization.
- Linked to a constituent record
- Has their own volunteer profile with status, skills, and availability
- Can be assigned to multiple positions and tasks
- Tracks training, background checks, and evaluations

Volunteer Tasks
A Volunteer Task is a specific work assignment with a date, time, and location.
