Group Discussions

Why use the Group Discussion feature?
The group discussion feature in VC can make your volunteer experience much easier in several different ways. Some examples include:
  • Coming together on meeting details
    • Come together on the date, time, and location
    • Determine topics
    • Who will bring/do what
  • Questions
    • Ask teammates for information material you may be missing
    • Ask if any teammates are available to cover a shift for you
    • Ask about sharing a ride to a meeting or training
  • Planning a party
    • Come together on date, time, location
    • If carry in, who will bring what
    • Who can bring tables, chairs, tents

The possibilities of how this tool can be used are endless.
