My Teams Guide

Creating and managing a team with your SOLVE account is easy. Here's how:

Creating a Team:

1. Go to the 'My Account' tab and select 'My Team' from the dropdown menu.
2. To be a youth team leader, ensure you are an authorized adult and have created a personal SOLVE account.
3. On the "Manage Your Team" page, choose "Create New Team."
4. Enter Basic Team Information.
5. Add Team Members:
   • Note: Only the team leader can add members; they cannot join without being added.
   • Provide each member's name, age, and email address.
   • Each member needs a unique email; minors without one can use a parent’s.
   • Age is required for volunteers under 18.
   • An authorized adult must fill out a Minor Waiver for minors.
6. You can modify your team later from the “My Teams” homepage.
7. Select ‘Create Team’ when finished.

Registering Your Team for an Event:

1. Choose an event from the SOLVE volunteer events calendar.
2. Select the green “Register as a Team” button at the bottom of the event description page.
3. Acknowledge the waiver agreement.
4. Choose your team from the drop-down list.
5. Check the box next to participating team members.
6. Team Captains can reserve spots for unnamed members.
7. Select ‘Submit.’

Managing Participants and Reservations:

1. To modify your team, go to 'My Team' under the 'My Account' tab.
2. Select the ‘+’ button next to your team for options.
3. Options include removing the team from an event or managing participants.
4. You can also add/remove individuals from the ‘Overview’ section.

Being a Team Captain:

• Creating a team automatically designates you as the Team Captain.
• Team Captains can add/remove members and sign up for opportunities.

Consenting for Youth Participants:

• Adults creating teams with minors will complete the Youth Volunteer Permission and Waiver.
• Teens under 18 need a parent/guardian to sign a paper waiver at the event if they lack a SOLVE account.

Adjusting Reservation Spots:

• Update reserved spots promptly to ensure accuracy and availability.
• Select ‘Manage Your Team’ and adjust the number of spots accordingly.

Completing the Youth Volunteer Permission and Waiver:

• Visit the “My Team’ page and select “Update Waiver” next to the team.

Email Notifications and Waivers:

• Team members receive email notifications upon being added to a team.
• All members are encouraged to register for a SOLVE account for online waivers.
• Paper waivers are available for those not registering online. Download the adult waiver or our youth waiver, which is available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Russian, Somali, and Ukrainian. Please give the signed copy to the event leader at check-in.
