Beginner's Guide to the UC Volunteer Portal
Does your organization offer volunteer opportunities for UC students to get involved? Sign up to become an organization on volunteer.uc.edu! You will be asked to designate an "organization manager" These individuals will be points of contact for your organization's volunteerism and should be prepared to maintain your profile and approve hours.
"Opportunity" is the term used by the Volunteer Portal to describe a volunteer role available for students to fill. Once CCE has approved your organization, you can begin posting opportunities to recruit volunteers.
Organization managers are responsible for approving volunteer hours. Organization managers will receive emails when students have submitted hours. CCE encourages students to practice patience with organizations in the approval of hours.
Galaxy Digital's Organization Manager Help Guide includes more information not listed here.
CCE is happy to provide more information on creating and maintaining your organization profile. Contact community.engagement@uc.edu for questions.
