How to volunteer

Go to the site and click Sign in. Enter your email address and click Send magic link- there's no password to remember. Check your email for a sign-in link and click it; that's it, you're in.

The link is single-use and works only in the browser you requested it from. If your email app opens links in its own built-in browser, copy the link and paste it into your usual browser instead. If it still doesn't work, go back and request a new one.

Once you're signed in, use the View timetable dropdown in the top bar to pick a school. This takes you to that school's public weekly timetable. You can view barrier locations and times which still need volunteers.

You can browse and change schools this way at any time, whether or not you've signed up to volunteer for them yet.

Click any slot that still needs volunteers. A dialog opens where you choose:

• One-off - just this date - covers only the date you clicked.
• Regular - every week for the rest of the academic year - signs you up for that same slot every week, including future terms, until you cancel.

Click OK  to confirm. If this is the first time you've signed up at this school, you're automatically added as a volunteer there too - you'll see a note to that effect before confirming.

Click a slot you're already signed up for to open the same dialog again.

• If it's a one-off signup, you'll see Remove this signup? with a single Remove signup button.
• If it looks like an ongoing regular commitment (you're confirmed for two or more dates on that same slot), you'll instead be asked to choose Just this date or This and all future dates before confirming with Remove.

Click Keep it at any point to close the dialog without changing anything.

Click Dashboardin the top bar to see everything you've signed up for, across all your schools, in one place. There are four views:

• Day and Week - the detail view for a specific date range.
• Month - a compact grid, good for an at-a-glance view of a whole month.
• Term - a list of your upcoming commitments for the current term.

If you volunteer at more than one school, a school selector appears here too, letting you switch which school's slots you're looking at without leaving the dashboard.

At the top of the dashboard is a Subscribe to your own calendarlink. Copy it into your phone's or computer's calendar app (as a subscribed/internet calendar, not a one-off import) and your confirmed slots will show up there automatically, staying in sync as you sign up for or cancel slots.

If you ever need to invalidate that link - for example, you shared it by mistake - click Regenerate link to get a fresh one; the old link stops working immediately.

Your name (shown to other volunteers and admins) appears next to Welcome on your dashboard. Click Edit beside it to change it, then Save.
