Groups run on leaders who are already stretched and parents who would help if someone asked clearly. VolunTeam gives your group one sign-up page for parent duty, camp helpers, transport and hall jobs — so the ask goes out once and the roster fills itself.
Numbers are a guide only — set your own slots, names and times to match how your club runs.

| Camp helper | Camp weekends | 4-8 |
| Camp catering | Camps and sleepovers | 2-4 |
| Transport / driver | Outings and camps | As needed |
| Hall cleaning and maintenance | Weekly or monthly | 2-4 |
| Fundraising stall | Sausage sizzles, drives | 4-6 |
| Group committee roles | All year | 1 each |
| Working bee | Termly | 6-12 |
Grab a free canteen roster template or the game day volunteer checklist to get started.
Post every meeting night for the term and let parents claim the nights that suit them. Each family can see what they've already done and what's still open, which makes the load visible without anyone having to nag.
Camps need drivers, cooks, a first aider and extra adults on site. Post each of those as its own role with the times and how many people you need, so nothing is assumed and nobody arrives thinking someone else had it covered.
Leaders and committee members hold ongoing positions that quietly accrue hours all year. Export the totals for your group report, or issue volunteers a certificate showing what they contributed.
