    Volunteer Pipeline for VERY basic volunteering

    I've looked in many places for this answer and have not yet found it...

    We utilize many different types of volunteers, from greeters to trained counselors.  For the Volunteer Pipeline, it seems it is built to handle the volunteers that have a great deal of requirements before serving, such as a background check, etc.  However, if we bring in a volunteer greeter, all he/she is required to do is smile, shake hands, and say "welcome to Highlands."  There is no real interview, no real (formal) training, and thus no real need for the full-blown volunteer pipeline.  That's where I'm struggling.  What do you recommend as a setup for someone to say they are interested in volunteering for a role that doesn't have a lot of requirements so that they can be integrated as a volunteer and put on a staffing schedule?
