TEC is an organisation that is running/sponsoring a programme called Inspiring the future.  ITF is the activity provider. It has a specific educational goal, its own presence on the platform/ home page etc.  

It has a catalogue of Activities - panel, 20 questions etc.  each suited for specific purposes. 

ITF has a ‘membership’ of volunteers - people from the overall pool who are interested in doing ITF activities and have received the necessary training/onboarding. They originate from a wide range of corporates. (Who may or may not be listed in Voluntarily)

Each school (OP) decides to run one or more ITF Events so a designated requestor will select the activity they want to do and list it on Voluntarily.  

The platform will try to meet the volunteer requirements of the event. 

I am volunteering from Xero for ITF at an event on ‘date’ to participate in ‘meet the experts’ organized by Nicola at Ponsonby Primary School.
