How to use your direct URL to promote all current volunteer opportunities on your website

By: Volunteer Success

One of the things that prospective volunteers want to know when they visit your website is what kinds of current volunteer opportunities you offer. However, keeping that list up to date can be time-consuming, especially if you don’t have access to the content management of your website. We can offer you an easy solution to this challenge!

When you set up your organizational profile on Volunteer Success, we provide you with a direct link to your profile and all active opportunities. For example, the profile for Volunteer Success on our site (because we also recruit volunteers) is https://www.volunteersuccess.com/organizations/volunteer-success. Any active opportunities will display under your organizational profile.

You can add that URL to your volunteer webpage permanently, perhaps hyperlinking using the phrase “Current Opportunities” or a button. That way you only need to easily update your postings on the Volunteer Success page for prospective volunteers on your website to see what opportunities you have available.

How to find your own direct URL to your organizational profile? There are two ways to do it:

  1. Go to https://www.volunteersuccess.com/organizations and do a search for your organization. Click on See Details and then copy the URL.
  2. Log in, Go to Edit Profile Information on the left-hand side and then click on About Your Organization. The URL is just under the textbox for the Organization Mission. You also have the option to edit the URL if you wish.

You can also post that link on your SM channels to promote opportunities to your wider community.
