| Shift Scheduling | Automated scheduling of volunteer shifts to avoid overlaps and ensure coverage. |
| Communication Tools | Notifications, chat, and email/SMS alerts for updates and instructions. |
| Training & Resources | Volunteers can access training materials, guidelines, and event FAQs. |
| Attendance Tracking | Volunteers check in/out digitally for their shifts. |
