You may be invited to join a team through a join link. A join link can be sent to potential team members by a team leader or manager of a site. If you're invited to a team through a join link, there may be some additional steps you must complete before you're officially on that team.
For example, you may have to answer a response question or complete a Prerequisite/Qualification for a volunteer Need/Opportunity to complete the process. Here are a few things to consider:
The link may be sent to you through a direct message or to your volunteer profile inbox
If you don't already have an account on the site, you'll need to set one up as part of the process
You may have to wait for a pending Prerequisite/Qualification to be reviewed and approved by a manager before completing the process
ℹ️ So you know: Some sites have language overrides in place. This means you might see Needs in place of Opportunities, Agencies in place of Programs, or Prerequisites in place of Qualifications.
Responding via the Join Link
In this example, the user already has an account on the site and has received the join link in their inbox:
Click the link.
Complete any required response questions or Prerequisites/Qualifications as applicable.
Once all necessary fields are complete, click Join Team.
After clicking Join Team:
A notification is sent to your inbox that welcomes you to the team and another that thanks you for your interest in that Need/Opportunity
You can access the team's information from the My Teams area
You can update your response to that Need/Opportunity at anytime
