Step by (optional) step.

1. Update your organization page information

Start with your basic information—this is the foundation for everything else. In the ‘Page Information’ tab, you’ll find all the info you entered when creating your organization on the platform plus a few extra options. Sections with a red asterisk (*) are required, but it’s best to fill in as much as possible!

Go to: profile icon (top right) > organization > your page > page Information

• Complete all relevant basic information: website, social media links, contact details, categories, SDG's etc.

• Enhance your page's look and feel with a well-sized logo and a beautiful background photo that reflects your organization and increases recognition.

• Promote your organization even more (socially) by adding additional information or content.

• You can even add specific information to help your members get started!

2. Change your organization page's privacy settings

Privacy settings determine who sees what information and who can join.

• This article explains how privacy settings work and how to configure them.

3. Explore your organization page's other features

4. Invite people to join your organisation page

Activate your community. The more members, the merrier.

• Add administrators or moderators who can help with management and content. Read more about the different roles here.
  • Make sure they know how to adjust their notification settings so people don't receive too many emails.
  • Train them in person, or have them go through this article 😉
• You can invite people individually, use an invitation link, or add multiple people at once using a CSV file.
  • Members can easily be contacted or linked to an activity.
• You can optionally add specific information to help your members get started!

5. Learn how to create and manage engaging activities

Activities are what your organisation page is all about. Depending on your platform, you can post one or multiple types of activities (e.g. opportunities, workshops, events).

• Post an activity. Read more about all the options here.
  • You can, among other things, add a questionnaire to an activity to request more information and/or files. Practical if you want to see someone's driving licence straight away!
• Make sure you have a good description: clear, concise, with motivating language. See also our "Tips & Tricks: writing an engaging text for your activity / vacancy".
• Use an attractive cover photo or image: visual appeal increases sign-ups.
• You can also set up recurring activities or duplicate activities, so you don't have to enter everything from scratch each time.

6. Know how to manage registrations

Registrations are the bridge between interest and actual participation.

• View the registrations for an activity and adjust them where needed.
• You can download the details of registered volunteers for your own processing or follow-up.
• Know how to link a person to an activity by manually creating a registration.
• It's useful to know how Group registrations work.

7. Understand how the volunteer pool works

The volunteer pool is a way to actively reach out to potential volunteers.

• Reach out to someone from the volunteer pool. This article explains how it works.

8. Increase the reach of your organisation page

Visibility is essential to get found and attract more members/activities.

• Promote your activities.
• Post your activities on your own or other websites as well.

9. Make use of your data and analytics

Numbers help you inform and activate stakeholders. In addition, you can use them to support and improve decisions.

• We've brought everything together in one article, see here how you can use data and analytics within your organisation.
• Want to know how often your vacancy is being viewed and what you can do with this information? Then read this article.

General tips & points of attention

• Keep your page continuously up to date. Regularly update your photos, activities and texts to keep everything fresh.
• Test settings: try viewing your page in the role of a "non-member" or "guest user" to see what is visible and whether everything works.
• Collaborate: assign multiple administrators or moderators so the workload is shared and you can respond more quickly to registrations/information.
• Ask for feedback: ask volunteers or members what they feel is missing or which parts they find unclear, and improve your page based on that.
• Plan ahead: for events, campaigns or themed months you can prepare content in advance, so you stay ahead of your calendar.
