❖ Heads up! This article is intended for Agency Managers.
After registering your Agency on a volunteer site, set up your Agency profile page to share key information such as:
Mission statement
Community impact
Goals
Contact details
Hours of operation
Available Needs or Events for volunteers
Causes your Agency supports
Links to important info or resources
You can also add your Agency’s branding and images here.
Creating an Attention-Grabbing Profile
Create an engaging profile page to boost volunteer interest in your Agency’s Needs. Share your mission and goals, and personalize them with your branding and images. Here’s an example to inspire you:
Writing Descriptions
There are two description fields for you to complete when setting up your profile page. Those are the Who We Are and What We Do descriptions.
Who We Are: Share your Agency’s name, mission, impact, and goals here.
What We Do: Tell the community about your work. Share as much or as little as you like—but remember, this is the volunteers’ first impression. Make it engaging and show why they should join your mission!
You can also enhance your descriptions with images, videos, links, and text formatting.
Consider adding mixed media to your profile page—embed videos, add links, and include images to break up text and make it easier for volunteers to read and engage.
The Text Editor
The text editor lets you change font color, add images, links, tables, and more! It’s built on HTML, so if you know basic coding, you can enhance your description even more. Here are the available text editor buttons:
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. | |

Managing Agency Managers
You can add or remove Agency Managers and designate the primary manager at any time. The primary Agency Manager has the additional ability to add or remove other managers; otherwise, all managers have the same access.
You must add a user as an Agency Manager before assigning them as the primary. After transferring primary status, you will no longer be able to edit Agency Managers.
Adding a New Agency Manager
Go to My Agency.
Click Edit.
Under Agency Managers, type the name or email address of the user you want to add.
The user must have a registered account to be added here.
Make Another Agency Manager the Primary
Go to My Agency.
Click Edit.
Under Agency Managers, click the star by the person you want to make the new primary.
Once you do this, you won't be able to edit this area of the site for your Agency.
A pop-up appears asking you to confirm your actions. The new primary Agency Manager now appears with a star by their name.
Need to undo this change? You can either have the new primary reassign you as the primary or contact your site manager for help.
Removing an Agency Manager
Go to My Agency.
Click Edit.
Under Agency Managers, click the X beside the name of the person you want to remove.
A pop-up appears asking you to confirm your action. You can always follow the steps to re-assign someone as the Agency manager if this was done in error.
