Beginner's Guide to the UC Volunteer Portal
Does your organization offer volunteer opportunities for UC students to get involved? Sign up to become an agency! You will be asked to designate an "agency manager/s." These individuals will be points of contact for your organization's volunteerism and should be prepared to maintain your profile and approve hours.
"Need" is the term used by the Volunteer Portal to describe a volunteer opportunity. Once CCE has approved your agency, you can begin posting needs to recruit volunteers.
Agency managers are responsible for approving volunteer hours. Agency managers will receive emails when students have submitted hours. CCE encourages students to practice patience with agencies in the approval of hours.
Galaxy Digital's Agency Manager Help Guide includes more information not listed here.
CCE is happy to provide more information on creating and maintaining your agency profile. Contact community.engagement@uc.edu or call 513-556-1559 for questions.
