Events and non-profits tutorial ​

You will make a call for volunteers for a beach clean-up day, with the events-ngo pack and its editorial theme. Allow about ten minutes before recording.

1. Create the episode ​

bash
reelforge new volunteer-day --pack events-ngo --template volunteer-signup --lang en

Use --lang ar for an Arabic version. The pack also has event-agenda and donation-impact. The pack catalog lists every template and its slots.

2. Fill in your details ​

Open the episode with reelforge edit volunteer-day and replace the default names, numbers and keyword with your own, or start from the dashboard (+ New episode → Start from template), whose form asks for each field. Keep within the length limits shown for each slot.

Audience and tone. Attendees, volunteers, donors and partners. Be human, hopeful and transparent.

  • Answer what, where, when and how to register, one per line.
  • Show registration steps on a phone or with steps.
  • Use honest numbers from the organizer; stories work better than statistics.

3. Check the content ​

  • Impact and fundraising numbers only from the organizer, never rounded up.
  • No real beneficiaries' names or faces.
  • No pressure tactics and no tax claims unless confirmed.

4. Validate, record and render ​

bash
reelforge validate volunteer-day
reelforge align volunteer-day          # after you save voice.wav in the episode folder
reelforge render volunteer-day

A finished example is in packs/events-ngo/examples/open-hands-en; render it with --silent to compare.
