Volunteer form template: roles, availability and checks in one sheet

What this form asks, and why

Full namerequired For rosters and name badges.
Emailrequired For the welcome and rostering emails.
Mobilerequired Volunteer coordination happens by text on the day.
Are you 18 or over?required Under-18s often need a parent's permission and some roles aren't open to them.
Which roles interest you?required Several can apply. They're written as one cell of labels, so a filter for 'Driving' finds every driver.
When are you usually free?required Fixed choices you can count: COUNTIF(column, "*Weekends*") tells you how many people are free at weekends.
Skills or experience you'd like to use Where you find the bookkeeper or photographer you didn't know you had.
Working with children check number, if you have one Optional, and only a record: the check itself is done on the issuing agency's own service.
Check expiry date Its own date column, so sorting it shows whose check runs out first.
Emergency contact (name and phone)required Needed before anyone works a shift.
I agree that you may keep these details to organise volunteering.required Records that the volunteer agreed you could keep their details.

Treating a typed check number as a cleared check: it's only a claim until you verify it with the issuer, such as Service NSW for a Working With Children Check (free for volunteers in NSW).
Free-text availability ('most weekends, not school holidays'): you can't filter or count it. Use fixed choices and leave details for the skills box.
Forgetting under-18s: without the age question you find out at the first shift.
Asking every volunteer for a check: rules have exemptions. In NSW and Victoria, for example, under-18s don't need one, and parents volunteering in their own child's activity often don't either.
