SayPro Registration and Participant Management

Objective:

To ensure seamless registration and smooth entry for all participants attending SayPro programs, workshops, or events by implementing efficient, professional, and user-friendly registration and participant management systems.

1. Pre-Registration Planning

Before the registration process begins, SayPro undertakes careful planning to ensure that every aspect of participant management is clear, coordinated, and well-documented. This includes:

• Defining the registration timeline (opening and closing dates).
• Setting participant quotas to manage venue capacity and resources.
• Identifying participant categories (e.g., youth, professionals, educators, guests).
• Outlining participation requirements (age, documents, payments, etc.).
• Allocating responsibilities to registration staff, IT support, and program coordinators.

2. Registration Methods

SayPro utilizes a mix of online and in-person registration methods to ensure accessibility and inclusivity.

Online Registration

• Accessible through the official website (www.saypro.online) or a dedicated event registration portal.
• Participants fill in personal details, select event options, and upload necessary documentation (ID, proof of payment, etc.).
• Instant confirmation emails and SMS notifications are sent upon successful registration.
• Data is stored securely for later verification and reporting.

In-Person Registration

• Available at SayPro offices or designated community centers.
• Staff members assist individuals with limited digital access to complete paper or digital forms.

3. Payment and Verification (If Applicable)

• Secure payment options are provided for events that require a fee (e.g., workshops or training courses).
• SayPro uses mobile money, EFT, and debit/credit card options.
• Receipts are automatically generated and linked to participant records.
• A verification team cross-checks documents and payment status before final approval.

6. Participant Tracking and Attendance Monitoring

• Participants are checked in at each session/workshop to monitor engagement.
• This data supports reporting, certification, and impact evaluation.

7. Post-Event Follow-Up

• Participants receive certificates of attendance or completion, where applicable.
• SayPro sends feedback forms to gather participant insights on their experience.
• Contact details are added to a secure CRM system for future engagement, such as follow-up programs, job placements, or mentorship.
