- Agency name, staff contact name, email, and phone (contact person who is managing the volunteer opportunity)

- Volunteer opportunity description (describe the type of work they will be doing, and whether they can drop in or if they need to contact the coordinator first)
- The physical address of opportunity
- Minimum age of volunteers
- Minimum age of volunteers with adults
- Please provide a Spanish translation of the above information if applicable (our portal is available to Spanish speakers)
- You may also include a link to your own volunteer sign-up page/website if you prefer
Once your opportunity is posted, Patricia will send you a confirmation and set up your username and password which gives you access to the portal to makes changes yourself. Reminder: the portal gives you direct access to volunteers available to volunteer for your opportunity!
