How to Use Volunteer Task Groups for Recurring Opportunities

What is a Volunteer Task Group?

A Task Group is a collection of related volunteer tasks:

• Groups similar tasks together (e.g., all food pantry shifts)
• Serves as a template for creating individual tasks
• Can have its own public sign-up form
• Connects to programs, events, or ongoing activities
