How do I add a new opportunity?

Login for organizations Click on "Add a new one-time opportunity" or "Add a new ongoing opportunity." Fill in the information requested as completely as possible. The opportunity will go to the Volunteer Center to be approved before it is active on the website.

What if I want to change my opportunity from one-time to ongoing or vice versa?

Login for organizations. You can go into the opportunity and edit it from one-time to ongoing. Make sure if you change the opportunity from ongoing to one-time opportunity that you also put dates and times in for that opportunity, so that it will get put onto the "Project Calendar."

Does it cost me anything to use the Volunteer Center's website to post volunteer opportunities?

No, it is completely free. Our mission is to connect people with opportunities for community service. We do not charge agencies or volunteers for our referral services.
