1. For each of the Community Partner’s “Requests For Volunteers’ Services” posts, a website visitor can submit their interest by clicking a “call to action” button associated with that specific volunteer opportunity. Then, that individual’s submission generates an email that goes to VCC staff for review. If the request to volunteer looks legitimate (not spam), then the "request email" is forwarded to the Community Partner’s point person on file, and the Community Partner follows up with the interested individual.

Information provided by a site visitor when submitting a "call to action" will be shared only with that Community Partner that needs to know, and the point person for that Community Partner is responsible for reaching out to the prospective volunteer for more information and scheduling.

See our Privacy Policy for more details on how we keep information and email addresses private.

2. For each of the Community Partner’s “Requests For Donated Goods” posts, a website visitor can simply read about the Community Partner’s need for goods, and that individual carries out instructions as per the instructions stated on the Community Partner’s post for the specific request. VCC does not review needs for donations – they are read-only posts.

When a Community Partner makes a “Request For Donated Goods” post, they can request Amazon Wish List Links, share pick-up instructions, and also state their preferred drop-off instructions.

Volunteer Centre County’s web-portal works to prevent spam and bots from abusing the website by not posting email addresses on the website and by making sure that “calls to action” submissions are legitimate before forwarding them to the Community Partner’s Point Person.
