❖ Heads up! This article is for Advanced Program Managers only, a role available exclusively on Amplify sites. You may also see them called Program Managers—both titles refer to the same user role.

Volunteer Opportunities are essential to a successful Program. We understand creativity can be challenging, so we’ve provided examples to inspire you.

Writing Great Descriptions

The Opportunity Description lets you personalize your volunteer Opportunities with details beyond the Create Opportunity form. Use it to:

Add images that show what volunteers will do
Use color and headings to organize information
Embed videos
Insert links to resources, other Opportunities, or Events

Customize the Description to share the key information your audience needs to know.

The Text Editor

The text editor in your Opportunity Description field is the same one used to personalize your Program profile page. Here are the tool buttons you encounter with this editor:

Tool Buttons	Descriptions
	Undo and Redo Use Undo to step back and Redo to bring it back.
	HTML Source Code Open the HTML editor to embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, or add other custom HTML content. Note: Some videos may not embed properly, causing broken links on your site.
	Insert Table Add a table to organize your content. Customize rows, columns, and cells to display things like volunteer schedules or impact data clearly.
	Indent Controls Use these buttons to increase or decrease the indent of your text for better formatting.
	Alignment Controls Adjust the alignment of images, videos, and text to fit your layout perfectly.
	Bullet Points & Numbered Lists Break up your text with bullet points or numbered lists to make key info easy to read.
	Horizontal Line Separate sections of your description with a horizontal line for clear visual breaks.
	Insert/Edit Image Add your logo, banners, or any images to personalize your description.
	Headings Create section headlines by choosing different sizes from the dropdown menu.
	Text Styling Make text stand out by bolding, italicizing, or underlining.
	Text and Background Colors Change text or background colors to highlight important information. ✅ Best Practice: Check Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to ensure your colors are accessible to all users.
	Insert/Edit Link Add links to documents, videos, or training materials. To remove a link, just highlight it and click Remove Link.
