NFP House Unveils Exciting Upgrades to Volunteer Portal
NFP House has announced significant upgrades to its online Volunteer Portal, aiming to enhance communication, improve responsiveness, and expand opportunities for youth volunteers aged 12-17.
One of the most notable changes is the inclusion of youth volunteers. Young individuals can now register, provided they have parental consent.
Additional enhancements include an upgraded dashboard for both volunteers and community organisations. Volunteers will now have quick access to their profile, notifications, and submitted EOIs. Organisations will also see improvements, with easier navigation to their profiles, public notices, and volunteer applications.
New features will streamline communication, reducing lost emails and improving follow-ups. Volunteers with incomplete profiles will receive reminders, while organisations will be prompted to respond to volunteers within a week. Furthermore, public notices can now be pinned for increased visibility, and school holidays have been added as an availability option for postings.
To ensure a smooth transition, NFP House representatives will be reaching out to volunteers and organisations to discuss these changes and gather feedback. A detailed manual will also be provided to guide users through the new features.
This project is made possible through the support of the Gladstone Regional Council’s Elevator Fund. For more information, visit the NFP House website and get ready to explore an improved volunteer experience.
Happy volunteering!!
