How to Apply to an Organization or an Opportunity

Overview

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:

  1. Submit an application form and wait for the organization to approve it.

  2. Be assigned by an administrator at the organization directly (bypassing the need for an application).


Step 1: Find the Organization

  • 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.



Step 2: Browse Opportunities

  • 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.


Step 3: Submit the Application Form

  • Complete and submit the application form.

  • Be sure to include all required information requested by the organization.
