When you navigate to your personal volunteer profile in Volunteer Success, you may have noticed that there is an option in the dashboard for you to change your account status to either private or public. When your profile is set to public, your profile is visible to organizations only when they are logged into their Volunteer Success account. Changing to private means that your profile will no longer be visible to organizations in the search page. However, even in the private setting, you will still be able to apply to opportunities by selecting “I’m Interested”. Organizations will then be able to see your full profile in their Manage Volunteers dashboard.

To find the Private/Public toggle switch, log into your account and click on My Profile and it will show up towards the bottom of the menu.

Why might you wish to use the private setting? You may prefer to not be contacted by organizations other than those to which you have applied. We also recommend that underage volunteers also use this setting.

At Volunteer Success we are committed to protecting your data privacy. We have a comprehensive Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which will help you better understand how we legally collect and use your personal data.
