Create A Team
When you create a team, you are automatically added to the team and assigned Team Captain' status. This enables you to sign-up the whole team, select eligible members of your team for activities, add and remove members and email members of your team.
Step 1: |
Log In then select Create a Volunteering Team |
Step 2: |
Enter Team Name (required) and a description and intended number of members (optional) |
Step 3: |
Select whether a) this team is open to the general public (anyone can join your team) or b) this team is open to invited members only (only the people you select will be able to join your team) |
Step 4: |
Please select the General Affiliation of your team if appropriate (optional) |
Step 5: |
If your team is associated with a particular organization, please "Find an entity" and select your organization. If your organization is not listed, please call Hands On Twin Cities at 612-379-4900 |
Step 6: |
Click Next |
Step 7: |
Add the first and last names of each individual you wish to add to your team. We strongly recommend that you also add their email address, as an invitation to join your team will be sent to them via email. You will not be able to sign up members of your team for projects unless they have confirmed (by responding to the email invitation) that they wish to be a part of your team. Select "Add team member" after each one note if the volunteer is under 18, you must also enter their age. Please call Hands On Twin Cities at 612-379-4900 for more information on volunteers under 18. Also see our Youth Liability Waiver (Word Document). |
Step 8: |
Once all team members have been added, click Next |
Step 9: |
Check the boxes next to any skills your team has and click Next |
Step 10: |
Check the boxes next to any interests your team has and click FINISH. If you do not hit FINISH, all information you have entered will be lost! |
Important things to note if creating a team to participate in activities:
- Invitations The system will send an email to all team members inviting them to join your team. They must accept this invitation before you will be able to sign them up for projects
- Restrictions - Members of your team who do not meet certain eligibility requirements may be unable to participate in certain projects or courses
- Age If members of your group do not meet the minimum age requirements, you will not be able to sign them up for projects. Please call our office at 612-379-4900 for assistance.
- Court Ordered Volunteers Court ordered volunteers are prohibited from participating in certain projects. If members of your group are court referred, you may not be able to sign them up for certain projects.
- Check Availability - if you sign up members of your team, they are automatically signed up for that activity, so please check they are available and wish to participate before signing them up
Maximum Team Size Allowed All teams are asked to be respectful of this when signing up for projects. Within each project description, you should see "Maximum Team Size Allowed." This will state the maximum number of people that one team is permitted to sign up for that project. While the system may allow you to sign up more than this, please honor this number
