Recurring Volunteers
In our church, we have the same volunteers in the same classes every week. The Sunday AM Nursery workers are the same every Sunday AM as well as those different volunteers on Sunday PM and Thursday PM. It's a blessing to have recurring events and to have recurring opportunities, but the volunteers need to be reset every single week. I'm wondering if it could be a choice to set a volunteer to a position in an event on a recurring basis. Thanks for your consideration.

To help you organize the volunteer schedule for your church’s ongoing volunteer opportunities, you can now select to assign volunteers to the opportunity series from the opportunity’s record.
Under Volunteers, select Assign to series and choose how to rotate sets of volunteers in the volunteer schedule. You can rotate volunteers by:
-
Groups — Volunteers rotate after a group volunteers. For example, if you have three volunteer groups, the rotation repeats after the third group volunteers.
To add a new group of volunteers, select Add another group.
To change the volunteer order, drag and drop a volunteer grouping.
Note: You can add up to 10 volunteers per group and 10 groups per volunteer opportunity series.
Every week, every other week — Volunteers rotate every seven or 14 days from the start of the volunteer opportunity.
Once a month — Volunteers rotate every month from the start date of the volunteer opportunity.
To choose the volunteers to add to the group, weekly, or monthly rotation schedule, select Add volunteer.
Specify the start and end dates for the period of time they will volunteer and select Save. For more information, see Opportunity Records.

We completely agree that this is a requirement for our volunteer solution as you stated, many of the volunteers serve on a recurring basis!
We have this on our roadmap and I will update you once I have more information on the delivery timeframe.
