Request to Volunteer

You can request to volunteer for the missions advertised on your homepage. To join a mission, request a position in one or more of the mission's shifts. An administrator must approve your request to join a shift before you can work on it.

You can also withdraw your request to volunteer for a shift before or after you've been approved to volunteer.

To request to volunteer for a mission shift

  1. On the homepage, click a mission. That mission's page opens.

    2. Click on the Missions page to see the next three available Mission shifts.

  2. Locate an upcoming shift and click Request.

  3. Click Position and select the checkbox for each position you want to volunteer for.

  4. Select one of these options.

    • Yes, display my contact info: this allows your name and contact information to be shared with other approved volunteers from the same shift.

    • No, hide my contact info: this allows you to remain anonymous to other approved volunteers.

  5. Click Submit Request.

If you volunteer for multiple shifts active during the same time period, there is no method currently for tracking whether an approval makes you unavailable for the other shifts. You appear as available for all shifts you request, regardless of whether an approval makes you no longer available. If this happens, you may need to withdraw one of your requests.

To withdraw your request

  1. On the homepage, click a mission. That mission's page opens.

  2. Locate an upcoming shift and click Withdraw. A confirmation window opens.

  3. Click Withdraw.

If the shift is due to start within 48 hours, you are no longer able to withdraw it in this way. Contact the shift administrator or your mission point-of-contact to cancel.
