Being approved for an opportunity allows you to:
Reserve shifts and track hours related to your involvement.
Access the dedicated opportunity chatroom (found under the Chat icon > See all > top-right of your portal).
There are two ways to become approved for an opportunity:
Submit an application form and wait for the organization to approve it.
Be assigned by an administrator at the organization directly (bypassing the need for an application).
If you’re already approved for at least one opportunity or you’ve accepted an invitation to join an organization’s portal:
The organization’s name will appear on your homepage (top-right).
Click View portal.
If you are not yet approved:
From the left-hand navigation, click Find an organization.
Enter at least 3 letters of the organization’s name, plus an address (specific or general).
Select a suggestion from the dropdown and adjust the search radius if needed.
You can also use the Looking for an organization? section on your homepage.
Once on the organization’s profile, browse through available opportunities.
Click an opportunity that interests you.
Example 1: Apply directly to a specific opportunity.
Example 2: If the organization has a Get Involved button, you can skip the next step and submit a general inquiry form.
After submitting, wait for further instructions. You may receive a Vome notification if you’re assigned to an onboarding sequence, specific opportunities, and/or shifts.
Complete and submit the application form.
Be sure to include all required information requested by the organization.
