Welcome back to our step-by-step guide on using the VolunTie App, the free, all-in-one platform designed to empower small volunteering organizations with seamless management and communication tools. In our previous post, we covered how to create a volunteering event, referred to as an “opportunity,” in the VolunTie App. Now, let’s dive into the next crucial step: sharing volunteering opportunities with candidate volunteers.
Whether your volunteers are already part of your VolunTie organization or you’re reaching out to new faces, VolunTie makes sharing opportunities simple, fast, and effective. Here’s how administrators and senior members can share a new volunteering opportunity in two easy ways.
Option 1: Sharing with Existing VolunTie Members
If your organization already has members who have joined the VolunTie App, sharing volunteering opportunities with them couldn’t be easier. VolunTie is designed to keep your team connected and informed in real time, eliminating the need for fragmented tools like WhatsApp groups or shared calendars.
How it works:
- Automatic Notifications: As soon as you publish a new opportunity in the VolunTie App, all members of your organization will receive instant notifications. This ensures everyone is aware of the new volunteering event without any extra effort from you.
- Broader Updates: In addition to opportunities, members will also receive notifications about new posts, articles, or messages shared by administrators. This keeps your team engaged and up-to-date with all organizational activities.
- Member Dashboard: Volunteers can access their personalized dashboard to view the opportunity details, check the calendar, and manage their tasks or shifts—all in one place. No more jumping between apps or searching for information!
This streamlined process ensures that your existing members stay in the loop and can quickly engage with the new opportunity, making coordination effortless.
Option 2: Sharing with External Candidate Volunteers
Want to invite new volunteers who aren’t yet part of your VolunTie organization? No problem! VolunTie’s “magic link” feature makes it incredibly easy to share opportunities with external audiences, whether they’re part of a WhatsApp group, a Facebook page, a school newsletter, or a sports team email.
How it works:
- Generate a Magic Link: When you create an opportunity in VolunTie, you can generate a unique “magic link” for that specific event. This link is your key to inviting external volunteers.
- Share Anywhere: Post the magic link on platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, newsletters, or even print it on a flyer. It’s versatile and works wherever your audience is.
- Hassle-Free Sign-Up: When someone clicks the magic link, they can join the volunteering opportunity in just a few clicks—no need to be a member of your organization or even have the VolunTie App installed. The app is fully functional in any web browser, so volunteers can participate from their phone, tablet, or computer.
- Quick and Easy Onboarding: For new volunteers, the signup process is designed to be fast and intuitive. They can view all the opportunity details, sign up, and get involved without any complicated steps.
This approach ensures that you can reach a wider audience effortlessly, making VolunTie a powerful tool for expanding your volunteer base while keeping things simple for everyone.
