Volunteering Events
Is the collective term we use to group opportunities (or activities) for your program where you run the event over a period, whether a day, a month, a quarter or annually. This period is customisable to suit your needs.
Tip: A range of our clients use events to run annual programs, adhoc and single day events. It is also a great way to manage visibility of your opportunities on the marketplace.
Volunteering Opportunities
Is what we call the activities you would like to set for your volunteer users. It is a sub-tier of a volunteering event. Each opportunity have their own Opportunity Page that you will need to create from a charity template or without a template. This will be accessible to the employees through the dedicated volunteering marketplace when they click on the marketplace tile. An opportunity page will display details including session(s) date and time.
Tip: You can create as many opportunities under one event, or you can choose to create one opportunity per event. It is up to you how you would like to manage your programs.
Volunteering Sessions
Is what you create and add to the opportunity. Each session will create a marketplace tile and the details will be listed in the main opportunity page.
The marketplace is organised by volunteering sessions that have Places available, with the top showing the latest opportunities available to future opportunities.
