Submit a volunteer program - Step 1-5

Detailed Volunteer Program Description

  • Program Highlights - Please list the five most unique, enticing, and attractive features of this program in five short sentences. Strong verbs and adjectives as well as a proactive and encouraging language showed the best results! 

  • Detailed Description - Please add a longer and more detailed description of your program. You can describe the program site, the location, what you are doing with this program, the role of the volunteer and everything else you want the volunteers to know. Describe what you expect from the volunteers and what they can expect from you. With whom will the volunteers be working with?
    You can copy all this information from your website and include it in this step. Don't worry, this won't affect the Google ranking of your own website in a negative way. 

  • Typical Day Description - Describe a typical day of work and the tasks of your volunteers.

Details on Arrival & Available Time Slots, Video and Internet Access

  • Details on Arrival & Available Time Slots - Provide some information on the volunteer's arrival and available time slots e.g. special start days. 

  • Video - If you have a YouTube video of your volunteer program, insert the link (URL) here.

  • Internet Access - Select one of the three options to let volunteers know about the internet access at your program's site.
