Previously, you could submit a vetting request only from the unvetted charity’s page. Now, when an unvetted charity appears in search results, you can select its Needs Vetting flag to access the vetting request form.

The following enhancement only applies to communities with VTO enabled and have an active VTO program.

Event creators can now set whether an event is VTO-eligible so volunteers are aware before signing up.

When an event creator creates an event for a charity included in their community's VTO charity list and the event dates occur within the VTO program dates, the VTO eligible option appears on the event draft page, and it defaults to being enabled. It also appears in the Manage Event, Edit Schedule section.

When VTO eligible is selected, the VTO program information appears in Eligible for on the event page. Participants can then apply for VTO when signing up for the event. Likewise, if VTO eligible is not selected, users will not see the VTO program information in Eligible for and cannot apply for VTO when signing up for the event.

Note: Although the VTO eligible option may not appear when creating an event for an Add Your Own (AYO) benefiting organization, these events are always set to VTO-eligible.

For more information, see Volunteer Time Off (VTO).

Based on feedback we've received, we have added a new page about the Employee Search feature in the CSRconnect Admin Portal.
