Want to give back to your community but don’t know where to start? Volunteer Success has you covered. We have hundreds of internal and external volunteer opportunities updated each week, as well as an easy-to-use filtering system that you can use when you’re trying to look for volunteer opportunities near where you live.

When you go to our website, you should navigate to our “Search for Opportunities” page first, there is a section underneath the search bar where you can set what kinds of filters you want when viewing opportunities. To find volunteer opportunities within your community, click on “Distance”.

After clicking on “Distance”, you will be able to fill-in your postal code. You can also fill in your postal code within your Volunteer Success profile, which will make it easier for you to search for volunteer opportunities in the future. After filling in the postal code, you can then use the slider underneath to choose what distance you’re comfortable with traveling for on-site volunteer opportunities, the distances range from 0 to 200km+.

After clicking on Search, the website will show you how many opportunities it has found, as well as the distance between the on-site opportunity’s location and the postal code you provided. Additionally, you can then sort the opportunities by date posted, or by alphabetical order. You can also search directly for the city or town you want to volunteer in by typing it into our search bar.

Now that you know how to look for volunteer opportunities within your community, why not check out our guide on how to set-up your volunteer profile! If you have any other questions, we’re here to help! Contact us at support@volunteersuccess.com
