How to contact volunteers

How to contact members who are interested in volunteering:

• Sign in.
• Use the top bar of the platform to visit the members stream - it will look like '394 members'.
  • Search for a specific member by typing their name.
  • Use the search options to search for members by their interests or other filters.
  • Type 'Volunteer' to view all members who have registered as volunteers.
  • Your platform may also have a badge for people who are 'open to volunteering' or similar.
• View a member's profile to read more about them.
• Contact a member using the 'message' button, or by email if they have shared their email address.
• To message a member, you may need to connect with a member first using the 'connect' button. Send a message about why you'd like to connect.

To contact members who have pledged to your volunteering opportunity:

• Sign in.
• Select 'dashboard' within the main menu.
• Select 'your activities', then 'manage your activities' (or similar) from the navigation.
• Locate the activity you wish to manage.
• On the right of that activity, under the 'actions' drop-down, select ‘manage volunteer requests’.
• Here you can view your responses and statistics to do with that activity.
• You can message individual volunteers from this page.
• If you connect with all of your volunteers, you will also be able to use your 'inbox' then 'new message' to send a group message to all your volunteers at once.
