Joining an Organization

Organizations are the core of Zelo. Being a member of an organization means you help run its events — not that you take part as an external volunteer.

How membership works

An organization admin adds you using the email address of your Zelo account. You join right away, with the role the admin picked:

• Admin — runs the organization: members, settings and events.
• Coordinator — runs events: registrations, teams, shifts and timesheets.

There are no email invitations yet, so create your Zelo account first and give the admin the email you signed up with. You can also create your own organization from Organizing mode and become its admin.

Volunteering vs. membership

	Volunteer (external)	Member (admin or coordinator)
How you join	Register for a specific event	Added by an admin
Scope	Per-event	Whole organization
Can register for org events?	Yes	No — you help organize them instead

If you want to volunteer for a one-off event without joining an organization, simply register for that event directly. You do not need to be a member.

Leaving an organization

Ask an admin of the organization to remove you from its Members tab.

An organization always keeps at least one admin. If you are its only admin, promote someone else to Admin before you're removed.
