click on it. Your organization management page will appear. Now, under "manage opportunities" click "add new
opportunity". Fill out the information about your opportunity here.
How will I know if someone is interested in volunteering with my organization?
When a volunteer is interested in an opportunity, they will send you
an email using our automated system. You will recieve the volunteer's contact information in that volunteer so that you can follow up with the person.
Many organizations ask this if they have similar opportunities that only vary by location. Login in to your account and click on your organization's name. Add one opportunity by clicking "add new" and then filling out the form. Now, under "manage opportunities", select the opportunity you just listed and click "duplicate". You will see a form to add a new opportunity, with all the information from your first opportunity already filled in. Customize this new opportunity and hit continue; now you've got two opportunities listed.
