05 Possible Extension

Adding Events

We wanted to allow volunteers to view which events they had previously participated in, how many hours they had gotten, and which events they have signed up for and whether they are approved. They would also ideally be able to view upcoming events and sign up. Staff would be able to approve volunteers for events (ideally the volunteer's volunteer-coordinator would do this) and sign off on a specific number of hours after the event concluded (the event coordinator would do this). We created the infrastructure in CiviCRM for this to be done; however, we did not have the time to build the front-end. Below it describes what needs to be done on the CiviCRM for this to be possible.
