Volunteers are the parents and helpers who make your shows run, from ushers to backstage helpers. Go to People, then Volunteers.
Search by name, family, email or phone to find someone.
Add a volunteer
Click Add volunteer.
Enter their First name and Last name.
Choose their Family if they're a dancer's parent. ShowSculptor suggests a family with the same last name. Choose Not part of a dancer family if they aren't.
Add their Email, Phone and a Photo if you'd like. If you pick a family, its email and Phone 1 are filled in for you.
Click Save volunteer.
To add a lot of volunteers at once, click Import volunteers and follow the steps to upload your file.
Edit or delete a volunteer
• Click the pencil next to a volunteer to edit them.
• Click the trash can to delete one, or tick several and click Delete. Deleting can't be undone.
Assign volunteers to a routine
Tick one or more volunteers.
Click Assign to routine in the bar that appears.

You can also add volunteers from a routine's People tab. Volunteers on a routine are automatically part of every show that routine is in.
Common questions
Why is the Add volunteer button grayed out?
The Free plan includes up to 10 volunteers. Upgrade under Settings, then Billing, to add more.
Can parents sign up to volunteer themselves?
Yes, with the Volunteer Signup Form under Encore (Production Pro, or Essentials shows with Encore). You share a link, parents choose the shows and jobs they can help with, and you approve each request.
