Do you have a need for volunteers? Are you hoping to host a project for Make a Difference Day 2016? Then look no further. Registration is currently open for Make a Difference Day (MDD) events through August 19th. Register your MDD project here.

Our online volunteer project management system eVolunteer is easy to learn and use, both to invite volunteers, and manage the volunteer event. To help ensure smooth and successful volunteer events, we created a half-hour training and FAQ.

How to Register eVolunteer Events with United Way of Larimer County

eVolunteer FAQ

1. How do I make changes to my submitted opportunity?
   1. Log-in to your account and click on the Opportunities tab. This will bring you to your list of current opportunities. Under the Opportunity Title heading, click on the opportunity you need to update. This will open the Opportunity Maintenance window. You may simply make any changes you need by typing in the fields! When you are complete, click Update at the bottom of the page. If you make changes to your opportunity after volunteer’s have signed up, remember to contact them and let them know about any changes.
2. I can’t find my opportunity online and I just submitted it. What’s going on?
   1. When you submit your opportunity it must first be reviewed by a United Way staff member before being published to the website. The same applied for when you make changes to your opportunity. You may view the status of your opportunity on the Opportunities page under the Volunteer Status header. If it says Open it is currently under review. If it says Published your opportunity is viewable and volunteer’s may sign-up!
3. My project is coming up soon and I would like a list of all my volunteers and their information. Can I find it somewhere?
   1. You can find you Volunteer List on the Opportunities page as well! Next to your Opportunity Title click on the Volunteer List icon, it looks like a clipboard. From here you may download an Excel spreadsheet of all your volunteer’s and their information, or click Printer Friendly to print your volunteer list.
4. Where do I go to make changes to my time slots?
   1. After logging in to your account, click on the Opportunities tab. Next to your opportunity title click on the Dates/Time icon, it looks like a calendar. From here you may edit (pencil icon) or delete (red “x” icon) your time slots. To add more time slots, simple click Add.
5. I want to view my opportunity from the perspective of a volunteer. Is there any easy way to do this?
   1. Of course! On the Opportunities page, click on the Opportunity Preview Link icon to the left of your opportunity’s title. This will automatically open a separate window with your opportunity posting. You may also copy and paste the URL to share with your networks, messaging boards and social media!
