New members can apply to your team through the HelpingHero search function. Before they can become members of the team, however, they must be approved by the existing members of the team. Who can approve applications depends on whether the team is a Volunteer or Co-operative team.
Volunteer Teams
Your ability to approve new members depends on your team role and the way that the Team Owner has set up the team authorities. If you are able to approve a new team members you will be notified by email when they apply.
In Volunteer teams only one nomination is required to turn an applicant into a team member and anyone with the authority can perform that nomination.
Co-Operative Teams
Unlike Volunteer teams, anyone in a Co-operative team can approve a new member, however, depending on the team rules one or more existing members may need to nominate the applicant before them become a member. Also all members of the team will receive the email informing them of the application.
Nomination Process
When you receive the email informing you of a nomination you can follow the link in the email log on to HelpingHero and go to Membership Applications. Once there you will see a list of applicants.
