Volunteers & Organizers

Hey Volunteers and Organizers, have you ever wished that it was possible to share volunteer opportunities in your corner of the internet? If so, you’re not alone — it’s regularly been one of our most requested features. Well, we are happy to announce that now you can install a simple Widget on your website or choose the more technical path of accessing our open API. Both will allow you to promote volunteer opportunities.

Simple widget . . . this is the version that meets most of us where we are at as it requires next to zero software development skills. It takes all of three minutes!

  • Create a search
  • Click the Embed button
  • Copy the code
  • Insert code into any webpage on your site

In the next few months the widget will be updated with many customization options. We will call it Widget V2 and post on the Blog.

Open API version . . . this is the version that requires you to find some support. The good news is developer's use it and it's quick!

  • Look at this page, it includes our API Documentation
  • Be confused
  • Send this link to your software developer
  • Send us any followup questions 
  • If required, our dev team can connect with your dev team
  • 7 minutes later everyone will have what they need

Whichever path makes sense for you and your community, let us know so we can offer any tips and tricks we learn from others like you!

 

Perhaps you want to or you already have taken a deep dive and you're looking for access to some expanded tools, consider becoming a virtual volunteer centre.
