Ready to get involved? Here's how to find and sign up for ways to serve:

Volunteer for a New Role

Express interest in a new role from your Volunteering/Serving page or from a recruitment post in the Newsfeed.

You can express interest in new roles two ways: from the Opportunities tab on your Volunteering/Serving page, or from a team leader's recruitment post in the Newsfeed. Opportunities show a Match rating (for example, Strong Match) that reflects how closely a role fits the skills and interests on your serving profile.

    1. In the top-left corner, click your site name then Connect. Then click Volunteering/Serving.
    2. Click the Opportunities tab, then choose Browse by Role or Browse by Team.
    3. To learn what a role involves before you express interest, click View Requirements on the opportunity.
    4. Select the role you're interested in, choose any related roles, then click Submit Your Interest.
  2. To volunteer from a recruitment post in the Newsfeed:
    1. In the top-left corner, click your site name then Connect. Then click News.

  3. To see the roles you've expressed interest in, open the Overview tab on your Volunteering/Serving page.
    Note: While you wait to hear back from a team leader, you can set your serving preferences for those roles. On the Overview tab, click the ellipsis icon next to the role and select Edit.

Add Yourself to a Volunteer Schedule

Sign up for a volunteer opportunity on a schedule.

If volunteer signup is enabled on a schedule, you can view that schedule in your team's Schedules tab. You can then choose a volunteer opportunity you'd like to volunteer for and add yourself to the schedule.

You must be a member of the team and be approved for a specific role on that team to sign up for a volunteer opportunity.

  1. In the top-left corner, click your site name then Connect. Then click Volunteering/Serving.
  2. Click the name of your team, then click the Schedules tab.
  3. Click the name of a schedule to view that schedule.
  4. Click +Add under a volunteer opportunity to sign up. If you are not currently serving in the role required for that volunteer opportunity, you can click Submit Request to request that role from the team leader.
  5. If you want to sign up to serve multiple times for the same volunteer opportunity, select Repeat, then select an option from the drop-down menu.
  6. Click Sign Up.
