Specific-date opportunities can only accept shifts occurring on or within the dates of the opportunity.

*Please note, the max number of shift volunteers cannot exceed the opportunity's estimated number.

Managing shifts in the View All Connections page

If you're viewing all opportunities, the connections on the page will note that the volunteers have chosen one (or more) shifts. Select View to note the shift times they've signed up for!

You can also select to view an opportunity with shifts and the shifts information will appear on the page.

Note:

• If you change or delete the shift, the information will no longer be available in the View All Connections page
