Highlight Features & Enhancements
Volunteer Availability
We've made changes to volunteering and applications, allowing volunteers to set their availability throughout the week. Volunteers will be able to select their ideal time of day for volunteer gigs (morning, afternoon, or evening), Monday through Friday on their accounts page. When applying for a volunteer opportunity, Kambeo automatically fills out the volunteers availability based on this information. The volunteer is also able to modify their availability on the application screen for each opportunity they're applying to.
Volunteer Details
We've added a volunteer section to our contact details modal. This modal allows event/Group managers to view volunteer analytics, verify volunteer hours, and manage the users shifts.
Discover Pages, Organization Pages
We've added new pages to help users find events, groups, and volunteer opportunities. The discover pages allow users to easily view events and volunteer opportunities that are happening soon, trending, or have been recently added. Users can also easily find new or trending groups.
Our new organization pages help users who are interested in posting on Kambeo. Whether you're a school, business, or non profit, these pages will help you get started on Kambeo.
Search Page Updates
We've updated our search page to improve user experience. We've added more filters to help users find groups, event, and volunteer opportunities that better suit their interests. We've also added consolidated markers to our map to reduce the map marker clutter.

- Contacts are tagged with Kambeo Capacity in real-time (Donor, Fundraiser, Volunteer, Supporter, Sponsor, etc.)
