Managing Your Family

If you're a parent or guardian with dependents in Ministry Steward, the Family page lets you manage their schedules and availability.

Navigate to Family in the left sidebar under "My Volunteering."

Your Family Dashboard

The Family page shows a card for each dependent you manage. Each card includes:

• Name and Relationship — your dependent's name and their relationship to you.
• Status — whether they're active (can be scheduled) or inactive.
• Ministry Qualifications — which ministries they're qualified to serve in.
• Upcoming Assignments — their next 3 scheduled events.

Managing a Dependent's Availability

Click Manage Availability on a dependent's card to open their availability page. From here you can:

• Add unavailable dates — mark periods when your dependent can't serve.
• Set event preferences — indicate which events they prefer or should avoid.

This works the same as setting your own availability, but applies to your dependent's schedule.

Viewing Their Schedule

Click View Schedule & Details to see your dependent's full schedule and profile information, including all upcoming assignments.

Tips

• Keep your dependents' availability up to date alongside your own.
• If your dependent is no longer serving, ask an administrator to set them as inactive rather than deleting their account — this preserves their scheduling history.
