Opportunity Pages

Learn about a volunteer opportunity and sign up to participate.

Volunteer opportunities are either events or projects.

  • Events are opportunities with set dates for employees to join.

  • Projects are longer-term opportunities that let you set goals and milestones.

Each opportunity page in CSRconnect shows the organizer, schedule, location, and roles, and lets you register or sign up, join a group, and contact the person who runs the opportunity. Opportunity pages are available for projects and events.

Project and Event Pages

Projects and events share the same page structure. The main differences are the labels for some actions and the information in the details.

  • On a project page, select Sign Up to participate. Project pages also show the roles you can fill.

  • On an event page, select Register to participate. Event pages show the next occurrence of the event and the full event details.

Opportunity Actions

Links at the top of the page help you manage the opportunity and connect with others:

  • Manage Project or Manage Event opens the tools for managing the opportunity.

  • Contact Project Organizer or Contact Event Coordinator lets you send a message to the person who runs the opportunity.

  • Add to Group adds the opportunity to a group.

  • Share Event lets you share the event with others. This link appears on event pages.

Note: The actions that appear depend on your permissions.

Opportunity Summary

The summary identifies the opportunity and the organization that hosts it. It also shows the schedule and, for projects, the location and the number of spots left. Event pages show the date and time of the next occurrence.

Labels near the summary highlight important information about the opportunity:

  • Eligible for VTO indicates that your participation qualifies for volunteer time off.

  • Cause and campaign labels, such as Health, show the cause or campaign the opportunity supports.

Your Participation

If you already participate in a project, a message at the top of the page tells you. To update your participation, select Edit Participation.

Roles

Project pages list the roles available to volunteers. Each role shows how many participants have joined and how many the project needs, such as 1 of 18, so you can find a role that still has openings.

Event Details

Event pages include a details section with the information you need to plan your attendance:

  • Location displays the event address.

  • Date and Time displays the date range, the daily start and end times, and the time zone.

  • Participating Groups lists the groups that take part in the event. Select a group name to open the group.

To give to the cause the event supports, select Make a Donation.

Description

The description explains the purpose of the opportunity and what to expect. On event pages, this information appears under About This Event.

Participating Groups

Project pages list the groups that participate in the project. Select a group name to open the group and see who else is involved.

Attending

The attending list shows the people who signed up or registered, along with their roles. If no one has joined yet, the list displays No participants found.
