Frequently Asked Questions
How many volunteers do I need for a school book fair?
Most school book fairs need 2-4 volunteers per shift for the sales floor, plus extra help for setup and teardown days. Signup Square makes it easy to set volunteer minimums per shift so you can see at a glance where you need more help.
Can volunteers sign up for multiple shifts?
Yes. Volunteers can browse all available shifts and sign up for as many as they'd like. You can also set a maximum per person if you want to spread the help around.
How do I remind volunteers about their shifts?
Signup Square sends automatic reminders before each shift. You can also send custom messages to all volunteers or to specific shift groups through the platform.
