Create a volunteer sign-up Google Form
A volunteer sign-up form collects preferences; the organiser still assigns roles and confirms attendance. This example asks for both a preferred role and every available time window.

About this example
- Five questions with a single preferred role and multiple available windows.
- Replace Saturday morning and afternoon with specific dates before sharing.
Before you start
- Replace the sample roles and time windows with the real opportunities. Include dates and a time zone where needed.
- Decide how you will handle more volunteers than a role needs and how confirmation will be sent.
- Collect only the contact information and relevant experience needed for this activity.
Create your form
- Open the example and adapt the role and availability lists. Checkboxes let volunteers select more than one available window.
- Preview the five questions, then sign in to create the Google Form in your account.
- Review responses in Google Forms and contact volunteers to confirm their role and schedule.
Limits and settings to check
- The form does not automatically assign shifts, check capacity or synchronize a volunteer roster.
- It does not perform vetting, eligibility screening or background checks. Use the appropriate process separately if required.
- An availability response is not a confirmed assignment; send confirmation yourself.
