COMMON QUESTIONS
How can we help?
How do I volunteer for an opportunity?
Open the opportunity and use its application or organization website link. Community Volunteer Services helps you discover the role, but the organization handles signup, screening, scheduling, and participation.
Why is an opportunity no longer available?
Programs, dates, and volunteer capacity change. Confirm availability directly with the organization. Expired or closed listings may be removed from Community Volunteer Services.
How long does listing review take?
Review time depends on submission volume and whether the information can be verified. We will contact the submitter if important details are missing or unclear.
How do I correct or remove my organization’s listing?
Use the contact form and choose “Update or remove a listing.” Include the organization name, listing title, page link, requested change, and the email address used to submit it. We may verify that you are authorized to make the request.
Does Community Volunteer Services charge organizations or volunteers?
No. Browsing and submitting legitimate volunteer opportunities are free during the Northeast Ohio launch.
How do I report a suspicious or unsafe listing?
Do not participate or provide personal information. Send the listing link and your concern through the contact form using “Report a listing.” We will review it promptly.
