Add a volunteering opportunity

Watch this tutorial to understand how to add a volunteering opportunity.

Get started:

Please note: processes and wordings may differ slightly on your platform.

  • Sign in.
  • Select 'Add an activity' from the 'Your Account' drop down menu.
  • Select ‘Look for volunteers’ and follow on-screen instructions.
  • Your title should be a short sentence that describes exactly what the volunteering opportunity is.
  • Your description should be a detailed paragraph or two including lots of information about what people can expect / why they should get involved. Try to use all the keywords that people might search for to find your volunteering opportunity.
  • Your image should be a photograph or graphic with no text that is eye catching, relevant and not bad quality.

Search engines cannot search text inside an image - so uploading a poster is pointless if the text is not in the description!

  • Sign in.
  • Navigate to your dashboard. 
  • Navigate to the manage activities section. 
  • Find the volunteer activity you wish to edit.
  • On the right of that activity, select ‘edit’ next to the cog icon.
  • If you're not ready to make your activity live, select ‘save as draft’.
  • Otherwise select ‘submit’.
  • An administrator will approve it before it goes live.
