Locate My Resume
The Volunteer Resume displays all of your service hours and giving in one place. These hours are calculated and totaled in your resume automatically when you join and check in to an Opportunity. So the resume is easy for you to access and use for whatever purposes you need. Every now and then though you might find yourself serving as a volunteer with an organization or an Opportunity that is not through the VOMO platform and app. Here's how to find your Volunteer Resume:
- Login at VOMO.org
- Access your personal profile menu in the top right corner of the page by clicking on your profile picture.
- Find the option titled "My Resume" and click on it. This is your personal Volunteer Resume.
