Just Added: Visibility Tags for Student and Senior Friendly Roles

By: Volunteer Success

We’ve just made it easier for the right volunteers to find the right opportunities. Opportunities marked as student-friendly or senior-friendly now show that designation clearly on the main opportunities page. These labels appear right on the opportunity card, helping volunteers instantly see if a role is right for them.

You can also now display how many community service hours a high school student can earn by volunteering with you. This information appears directly on the opportunity card and is especially helpful for students trying to complete their required hours before graduation.

To make sure your opportunities are reaching the right people:

  1. Sign in to your Volunteer Success account
  2. Edit each opportunity and select the student-friendly or senior-friendly options
  3. Add the number of high school volunteer hours if applicable

When you mark your opportunity as student-friendly, it is also automatically included in our High School Student Volunteer App, available on iOS. When you mark your opportunity as senior-friendly, it is included on NextStageVolunteering.com, our platform dedicated to engaging older adults in meaningful roles.

These updates give your opportunities more visibility and help volunteers quickly understand whether your role is a fit for their age, experience, or requirements.
