I submitted a form and included shifts in my submission. Why aren't I booked?

Once you submit the form on Vome, the organization will need to approve your registration for an opportunity before your shifts are scheduled.

Until the coordinator from the organization approves your registration, you will not see shifts appear on your calendar on Vome.

Why do I need to be approved for an opportunity?

This helps ensure that volunteers are reserving spots to shifts for which you are eligible!

For example, imagine the organization has an opportunity titled Driver at their organization. Before somebody reserves a shift for the Driver opportunity, it might be important for the volunteer to show a valid drivers license and confirm that they have a vehicle!

When will I see shifts appear on my Vome calendar?

Once the organization approves your registration for the opportunity, you will be notified about your reserved shifts and be able to view these reservations on your calendar. Additionally, you can reserve spots to additional shifts relating to that opportunity!

If you do not see shifts appear on your calendar in a few days after you submit the form, please contact the organization to find out the status of your registration. 

You can also contact Vome through our support page to check in with the coordinator!
