The Public Volunteer Calendar and Discovery Page

BetterUnite provides a public page where anyone can browse all of an organization's upcoming volunteer shifts across every active sign-up page, without needing to log in.

URL and access

The page lives at:

/{orgName}/volunteer

It's public — no account or login is required to view it. Access is still controlled behind the scenes: organizations must have the Volunteer Calendar feature enabled, or visitors will see a 404 instead of the page.

What it shows

The page pulls together every active volunteer sign-up campaign for the organization and lists their upcoming shifts within the selected date range. For each shift it shows:

• The jobs being filled
• Spots remaining, or a Full badge once capacity is reached

Only jobs with a defined capacity are counted toward "spots remaining" — shifts without a capacity limit are simply shown as uncapped.

Filters

At the top of the page, visitors can narrow what they see using:

• Sign-up page — show shifts from a single volunteer page, or all pages
• When — choose the date range:
  • Next 90 days (the default)
  • Next 30 days
  • All upcoming (up to 2 years out)
• Open spots only — a checkbox that hides shifts that are already full

List view vs. calendar view

Visitors can toggle between two ways of browsing the same data:

• List view — shifts grouped by day, showing time, jobs, and a spots-remaining or Full badge, with a Sign up (or View, if full) button.
• Calendar view — a month or list-style calendar showing each shift as an event with its title, start and end time, and full/open status.

Connecting to sign-up pages

Clicking a shift's button takes the visitor straight to that shift's volunteer sign-up campaign page, where they can complete the sign-up.
