Volunteer Sign-ups & Standalone Forms for Schools and PTOs

Our biggest goal is to make Zeffy the single place our families go for everything. Right now, we still have to use SignUpGenius for volunteer sign-ups and Google Forms for lottery entries and parent interest forms. We'd love to eliminate those additional platforms and keep everything within Zeffy.
Some features that would make this possible include:
Standalone forms that don't require creating an event or "free ticket."
Volunteer sign-ups with available shifts and slot limits.
Waitlists for volunteer positions.
Interest forms and committee sign-ups.
Lottery/raffle-style interest forms with one submission per family.
The ability to randomly select winners from submitted entries.
Custom fields for student name, teacher, grade, and classroom.
Automatic confirmation emails after submission.
A parent-facing dashboard where families can view or edit their submissions.
I believe these features would be valuable not only for PTOs and PTAs, but also for booster clubs, youth sports organizations, scout troops, and many other nonprofits that coordinate volunteers.
If Zeffy offered these capabilities, our PTO could likely retire several other tools and manage nearly all of our fundraising, events, volunteers, and parent engagement in one platform.
Thank you for continuing to improve Zeffy and for listening to your nonprofit community!

We have waivers we need completed for our events, would be great if Zeffy could introduce this. I realize offering things like this are pretty significant "scope creep" for the base zeffy platform, but I would pay for features as "add-ons" - either pay up front (subscription) or pay per use (% deducted from ticket sales). If I'm going to have to pay for this stuff anyway, might as well pay Zeffy!

I would 100% love a volunteer signup form. I'm using Google Forms right now, and it does not allow setting a limit to # of people that sign up for each role/time slot. Makes for a lot of work for me calling people to ask if they'd be willing to move to a different slot/role.
