You sure can. We have a Feature Request form that all users can use. The more information you provide in this form, the better chance that we will be able to implement it. All requests will be reviewed by our web design and development team to determine feasibility and applicability.

Although we have tried very hard to squash all the website bugs, it is quite likely that we have missed a few along the way.

Should you notice any bugs during your journey through https://volunteerhamilton.com, we ask that you please fill out our Bug Report form. This will notify the site admin, and it will be actioned.

This is a group effort, and we appreciate all your help and understanding!

Browse our list of volunteer opportunities and use the various filters that exist to hone your search (e.g., keyword, organization type, category type).

When you find an opportunity you are interested in, use the contact form on the individual posting’s page to reach the organization which posted the position directly. Contact information is listed at right side of each posting. It may look different depending on your platform (desktop computer vs. mobile).

You should check our list of volunteer opportunities often – as we continue to grow, we expect that more nonprofit organizations will sign up and post their volunteer needs (i.e. more volunteer opportunities).

Another option is to become more involved with Volunteer Hamilton‘s online community by engaging with us on Facebook, Twitter.

Absolutely. Everything on Volunteer Hamilton is free to use, including:

• Registering for the Hamilton Volunteer Pool;
• Registering as a nonprofit organization;
• Posting volunteer opportunities; and
• Searching volunteer opportunities.

No, it is not required. If you are interested in volunteering (but do not want to register), then you simply use the contact form found on specific volunteer opportunity pages. This will put you in direct contact with the organization.

We do encourage individuals to sign up with our Hamilton Volunteer Pool Registration form, as it gives volunteers several neat features, such as:

• Manage your own profile; and
• Be notified about various new opportunity postings based on your interests.

Yes, you certainly can. Once registered and logged in, look in the top-right corner of your browser for the “Edit My Profile” or “Edit My Volunteer Profile” links. Click the one that is applicable to you (i.e. organization vs. individual volunteer)

If you haven’t already done so, then use the Nonprofit Organization Registration Tool.

The tool will collect a variety of information about your organization, including contact information, location, organization type, etc.

Once registered, you will have access to your profile, the ability to add volunteer opportunities and allow Volunteer Hamilton to notify volunteers in our pool about your new postings!

If you need to remove/delete one or more of your organization’s volunteer postings, then:

1. Navigate to your profile page.
2. Find and click on the volunteer opportunity you want to remove in the “Edit Volunteer Postings” section of your profile. This will bring you to the form you used when you first added the opportunity.
3. Navigate to the end of the form and click the “Delete Volunteer Opportunity” button.

If you have trouble removing/deleting a post, then please contact us.
