3. From there you can narrow down your results in the side menu by entering keywords or selecting a Cause Area
4. Go ahead and open up a few opportunities and read the descriptions
5. Once you've decided on one (or more) opportunities, select I want to help!                                     
6. A pop-up will appear with space for you to write a personal message to the organization
7. We'll send this message and your contact information to the organization                                            
8. You will receive a confirmation email along with the opportunity details and contact information
9. If you don't hear back from the organization after a few days, you can contact them directly from this email by selecting Contact Organization
