The parts of a volunteer system a tribal office actually uses, built in.
Students, elders and community members give their time; the office sees it, thanks them, and counts it toward grant match.
A member becomes a volunteer when the office enrolls them, with the agreement, a confidentiality pledge for cultural material, orientation and, for students, a guardian’s consent recorded.
The office allocates a volunteer to one or more projects in the museum, language, oral history or heritage work, with what they will do and a target number of hours.
Volunteers log hours from their phone with what they did and any feedback. The project manager approves or returns each entry, and approved hours are locked.
Made so the time people give the Tribe is seen, thanked and counted.
