Volunteer widgets
| Widget | Description |
|---|---|
| Volunteer Bio | Displays on a user's Volunteer Profile and is intended for volunteer information (e.g., volunteer history and experiences, why they volunteer, etc.) specific to that user. If this widget gets deleted from a Volunteer Profile, you can re-add it via Page Designer. |
| Volunteer Leaderboard | Displays a leaderboard of the most engaged volunteers. Users can view the leaderboard based on the following filters:
|
| Volunteer Opportunities List | Displays a list of current volunteer opportunities.
|
| Volunteer Opportunity Details | Displays full details about an opportunity. This out-of-the-box widget is unique to the Volunteer Opportunity Details page and requires a URL that indicates which Volunteer Opportunity you are viewing. |
| Volunteer Opt In | Displays a toggle option on a user's Volunteer Profile after they've opted in to the community's Volunteer Pool. The toggle option is Invite me to volunteer when opportunities match my expertise? and, if = Yes, the user will be invited to volunteer for opportunities seeking their expertise. |
