Family
Manage dependent volunteers and their schedules as a guardian.
The Family page lets you see your own family group. Guardians can also manage volunteer accounts for their dependents — typically children or family members who don't have their own login.
Who Can Access This
- Team members assigned to a family group can view their own family group.
- Team members who are designated as guardians of managed accounts can manage those dependents.
Dependent detail and availability pages are only available to that dependent's guardians. Owners and administrators can still manage dependent volunteer records from the Volunteers area.
What You'll See
If you belong to a family group, the page shows a family group card with the group name and members.
Guardians also see a card-based dashboard of managed accounts. Each card displays:
- Name and Relationship — the dependent's name and their relationship to you (e.g., Child, Son, Daughter).
- Status — whether the dependent is active or inactive.
- Ministry Qualifications — badges showing which ministries the dependent is qualified for.
- Upcoming Assignments — the next 3 scheduled events, with a link to see more.
Managing a Dependent
Each dependent card has two action buttons:
Manage Availability
Opens the availability page for this dependent, where you can:
- Add unavailable dates (just like your own availability).
- Set event preferences on their behalf.
This works the same as the Availability feature, but applies to the dependent's schedule.
View Schedule & Details
Opens a detailed view showing the dependent's full schedule and profile information.
How Family Connects to Other Features
- Volunteers — dependents are created as managed accounts on the Volunteers page with a guardian link.
- Availability — guardians manage dependent availability through the Family page.
- Scheduler — dependents are scheduled just like any other volunteer based on their qualifications and availability.
- Groupings — family members are automatically grouped together.
