# Create a Campaign

The Campaign is the top level of your recurring event structure.

1. In Volunteers for Salesforce, click the Campaigns tab.
2. Click **New**.
3. Select **Volunteer Campaign**.
    
    ![Create a new volunteer campaign](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sfdo-volunteers_for_salesforce-264-0-0-production-enus/1854165a-1e96-498b-9cfb-c6516fed9d92/volunteers_for_salesforce/images/create_campaign.png)
4. Click **Next**.
5. Enter your volunteer Campaign name. We recommend using the name of the agency funding your series of events.
6. Select the Active option. This ensures that the Campaign displays on the Shift Calendar on your website.
7. Select the type of event.
8. Choose a status.
9. Optionally, enter the start and end dates for the series of events. You can leave these fields blank if this is an ongoing Campaign.
10. From the Volunteer Website Time Zone drop-down, select the time zone where the events are occurring. Remember that you can also set the time zone at the Job level, if you have Jobs in different time zones.

11. Click **Save**.

Now that you've got your Campaign set up, you can start [creating Jobs](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sfdo.v4s_user_create_ongoing_job.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "When you have Jobs with multiple Shifts occurring in the future, you need an easy way to automate the creation of those Shifts. (It would be tedious to manually enter each one!) Volunteers for Salesforce' Job Recurrence Schedules do the work for you.").
