Does your organization offer volunteer opportunities that require waivers, age restrictions, or specialized training? Setting up Prerequisites, or Qualifications, can help ensure that volunteers meet specific requirements before responding.
Prerequisites/Qualifications are an excellent tool for matching volunteers with opportunities that align with their skills and abilities. Additionally, they can ensure volunteers review essential content on your site, such as your organization's privacy policy.
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.
Reviewing Prerequisites or Qualifications
When a volunteer submits a Prerequisite/Qualification response, you can review and approve it by navigating to Volunteerism > Prerequisites or Qualifications:
Click Approvals from the Manage Qualifications page to review the ones submitted by your volunteers:
Statuses
There are six statuses to choose from on the Pending Prerequisites or Qualifications page:
Status | Description |
Qualified | This means the volunteer has met the Prerequisite/Qualification requirements and can respond to the Needs or Opportunities it is assigned to. |
Pending | This is the default status for Prerequisites/Qualifications that require your approval.

Re-submit | Use this status when a volunteer submits the wrong response to a Prerequisite/Qualification question and needs to resubmit their answer.
