What is an "organization manager"? - An Organization Manager is the individual who has been assigned to oversee the day-to-day operations of their organization's account on this platform. This person does not need to have a "Manager" title at their organization or business.

Organization Managers can:

  • Post and manage volunteer opportunities and community events

  • Schedule volunteers for opportunities or check volunteers in and out

  • Track your organization's statistics

  • Communicate with volunteers who have responded to their opportunities and events

Now you're ready to create volunteer opportunities and events for your community!

  • Log in to view your dashboard, where you can edit your Organization's Profile, manage opportunities and events, and view statistics about your organization's performance on this site.

  • Review the Agency Manager Training to learn more about navigating your Organization Manager Dashboard, posting volunteer opportunities, and more!

If you are a business or other community group who is not a "nonprofit," you may see fields on your Organization's core profile that do not apply to you (for example: EIN, nonprofit category).
