Volunteer Hosts: Edit your event

Learn how to make edits to your event after it's been approved!

Updated over a month ago

After an organization has approved your event, you may still want to go back and make edits. To find your event, navigate to your host dashboard:

  • Log in to Mobilize using the same email address you were added as a host under and navigate to Menu > Organize for > [Organization name].

  • In your Events tab, select the event you'd like to edit, then select the Edit button.

  • Once you're done editing, select the Save button to save your changes.

Volunteer host permission tiers

Organizations may designate volunteer hosts as one of two roles: Hosts and Trusted Hosts. Generally, Trusted Hosts are able to edit more fields on their events than Hosts.

Trusted Hosts can edit all fields that are part of the event campaign form, including:

  • Event title and description

  • Visibility

  • Location

  • Date and time

  • Communications

  • Accessibility

  • Group chat

  • Co-hosts.

In some cases, Trusted Hosts may also be able to edit the event type and add additional timeslots to an event.

Hosts can only edit the following fields:

  • Location

  • Date and time.

In some cases, if the dashboard Admins from the organization have configured the event campaign not to require approval, Hosts can also edit the same fields as Trusted Hosts listed above.

Regardless of permission tier, hosts are unable to edit the following fields:

  • Photo

  • Tags

  • Social sharing settings.

Requesting help with event edits

If you find that you're unable to make a necessary edit to an event, that likely means you do not have the permissions to do so. To learn more about your volunteer host role or to request help with making event edits, you'll need to reach out to a dashboard Admin from the organization.

You can find their contact information on the event campaign form you filled out to create your event. Select the organization name to email them directly, like below:

You can also find the organization contact information in the email confirmation you receive after your event is approved, like below:
