Inviting a group to volunteer is easy and effective.  Follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Find a group opportunity. Visit the Advanced Search page, enter your ZIP code and check the 'Groups' box. Click 'Search' to find group-friendly opportunities.

Step 2: Login or register for a VolunteerMatch account. You need an account in order to manage your group volunteering event. Click 'Become a member now' to create your account. If you already have an account, simply login.

Step 3: Next, invite your group. Create a group title, compose a greeting, add/edit your contact information and invite participants. Once you have reviewed your invitation, click 'Invite.'  VolunteerMatch will send an email to the participants you invited, as well as an email to the nonprofit organization.

Step 4: See who will be joining you. Login to your VolunteerMatch account and click on 'Manage Groups' to view the responses. You will see the specific group volunteer opportunity, group title, greeting, and a list of the participants you invited. You can also see who has confirmed their interest in the opportunity, who has declined and who has not yet replied to your email.
