Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 75 rows came out of a blueprint — 23 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Each row contains a unique volunteer and activity pairing
  • Activity types limited to community events, outreach, and administrative support
  • Engagement scores calculated based on attendance, hours, and feedback
  • Date, time, and project must be logged for each engagement
  • Volunteers can appear in multiple activities but only once per event
