== Introduction ==
The Volunteer module enables Eden instances to create and manage the volunteers in their team or in a task.

 1. You can create projects, and link projects to locations
 2. You can search for projects by location
 4. You can add a volunteer registration to any person
 3. You can add tasks to projects
 5. You can assign a task to any person with a volunteer registration
 6. You can update task status, or re-assign to another person

Started a "self service" menu for volunteers, currently just "My Tasks" but more to follow. However, that doesn't mean that every volunteer needs a user account - you can manage projects, tasks and volunteers without user accounts, and you can share this information across multiple instances without needing to register every volunteer as user on each instance.

Of course are any Person Registry information about volunteers also available in the Volunteer Module, such as:
 * Contact Information
 * Addresses
 * Identity Information

A basic working of the module can be seen in the [http://demo.eden.sahanafoundation.org/eden/vol Demo]
