For Agencies

Valuable tips for posting volunteer opportunities on VC’s website:

  • Be sure to fill out as much of the requested information as possible. Complete information allows for volunteers to search and find your opportunities a variety of ways.
  • List volunteer opportunities separate from agency information. Follow the commands and fill in agency information and then do an individual listing for each volunteer opportunity your organization has. Volunteer searches of opportunities, pull up just that- opportunities.
  • Volunteering is fun and meaningful! Make it sound that way in your posting!
    • Example of title for a volunteer opportunity: “Tutor Needed” versus “Make a difference in the life of a child” Which sounds more compelling?
    • Make your descriptions action-oriented.
  • Update your listing! New contacts, new email addresses, new opportunities should be updated regularly. If there is no activity on your listing for 12 months, your agency will be made “inactive” where it cannot be viewed by the public. However, it is not deleted and by simply making one change, it will be live again!
