Engage Volunteers in Covid-19 Specific Opportunities
VolunteerMatch is curating and helping nonprofits with tagging opportunities that are addressing COVID-19. Here are some ways we are helping your volunteers help during this unprecedented time.
View the COVID-19 Page
We've added a new page that makes it simple and easy to see both local, on-site and virtual, remote COVID-19 specific volunteer opportunities. We're reaching out and educating nonprofits to encourage them to create and sunset activities, so your VolunteerMatch opportunities are always fresh. For local, on-site activities, we are communicating standard safety guidelines to implement during the crisis.
Use the COVID-19 Filter in Search
You can create a search link to include in your Welcome Screen, in communications tools you use (email, intranet, slack, chat, etc.). Here's how:
For Virtual, remote
https://acmecorp7.volunteermatch.org/search/?#k=&tag=1&v=true
For On-site, location based
https://acmecorp7.volunteermatch.org/search/?#&tag=1
Replace 'acmecorp7' in the url above with your own site domain to create the same link for your VolunteerMatch Site.
Once you have your custom urls, you can share then with your volunteers. To add them to the Welcome Screen on your VolunteerMatch site, read this article.
