Creating Events

Events are the core of SignUpBreeze. Each event represents something you need volunteers for — a bake sale, park cleanup, watch party, fundraiser, or anything else.

​

Starting a new event

From your dashboard or the Events page, click the + Create Event button. You’ll see the template picker.

​

Using a template

SignUpBreeze comes with a library of predefined templates organized by category:

• School & Education — field day, classroom volunteer, book fair
• Sports & Recreation — tournament, practice schedule, team events
• Community & Church — food drive, worship service, community cleanup
• Family & Social — watch party, engagement party, baby shower
• Workplace & Business — team building, office events
• Events & Celebrations — fundraiser gala, holiday party, graduation

Each template includes a cover image, description, pre-configured shifts, and an event badge. Click any template to create an event based on it — the title, description, shifts, cover image, and appearance settings are all pre-filled for you.

​

Starting from scratch

Click the Start from scratch button in the top right to create a blank event. You’ll fill in everything yourself.

​

Event details

Whether you chose a template or started from scratch, you can edit all event details from the Details tab:

• Title (required) — the name of your event
• Description — what volunteers need to know (what to bring, expectations, parking, etc.)
• Location — a physical address or meeting URL (placeholder hint: “e.g. Centennial Park Main Fields or meeting URL”)
• Start Date (required) — when the event begins
• End Date — when it ends (can be the same day for single-day events)
• Timezone — defaults to your local timezone, can be changed via dropdown
• Published — toggle to make the event visible on its public page

Click Save to apply your changes.

​

Publishing your event

Events are unpublished by default. When you’re ready to share your event with volunteers, go to the Details tab and turn on the Published toggle, then click Save. Once published, a green “Published” badge appears on the event overview, and the public event page becomes accessible to anyone with the link.
