Virtuous Volunteer Causes are simple yet powerful tools for both volunteers and leaders of organizations. These search-enhancing tools boost the experience of the user on both ends of the serving relationship; serving as a volunteer or managing serving opportunities.
Volunteers
Virtuous Volunteer Causes are a predetermined list of categories, curated by the Virtuous Volunteer Team, that we believe are universal in the volunteering economy. This curated list provides a complete selection of broad serving categories that every organization can use to help increase the "search-ability" of their Opportunities, Initiatives, and their Organization's profile. Whereas Virtuous Volunteer Tags are fully customizable, Virtuous Volunteer Causes are predetermined. Volunteers can add a minimum of three (3) Causes in their profile so that the best Opportunities, Initiatives and Organizations can be matched with them.
Admins and Organizers
Just like Tags, Virtuous Volunteer Causes provides another powerful search tool for Admins and Organizers to boost the reach of their opportunities. As mentioned earlier, Causes are set list curated by the Virtuous Volunteer Team to provide a universal set of serving categories across the entire Virtuous Volunteer ecosystem. Causes can be added to the following places in your organization's Virtuous Volunteer account:
- Opportunities
- Initiatives
- Groups
- Organization Settings (the About page on your Hub)
