Opportunities are descriptions of date-specific and ongoing tasks at your organization for which you would like to recruit volunteers. You use your Agency account to create and submit opportunities, which are reviewed by a Volunteer Center Administrator and then posted in VS for volunteers to see.
Opportunities you and your colleagues create are stored in a table on the Opportunities page of your Agency account. The opportunities can be filtered using the links at the top of the table to display only Active Opportunities, Inactive Opportunities, and All Opportunities. The Inactive Opportunities list contains opportunities that have not yet been approved by an Administrator, opportunities you have disabled, and date-specific opportunities that have expired.
Volunteers will inquire about the opportunities by phone, email, or fax, which you can track as referrals. If a volunteer is matched to an opportunity, you can track the hours he or she volunteers for it, and/or review and approve volunteer hours claimed for the opportunity by the volunteer him- or herself.
