Welcome to #CaliforniansForAll powered by VolunteerMatch

We’re so happy to help you start recruiting volunteers. Organizations that join #CaliforniansForAll automatically get full Pro Member benefits with VolunteerMatch, and your volunteer opportunities automatically appear on the #CaliforniansForAll site. Below is some key information and additional resources about your new VolunteerMatch Pro Membership account to help get you started recruiting today.

If you’re brand new to VolunteerMatch and want an overview of how VolunteerMatch works read this article, or go ahead and follow the steps below to access your account, add/edit opportunities, and manage/update your account profile. 

Accessing Your Organization’s Account

To access your account first you need to be added as an administrator

1. Visit your VolunteerMatch organization’s profile page*
2. Click "Need admin access?" below the Mission Statement
3. Fill out the requested information and submit! Please note that if you don't already have a VolunteerMatch account, you'll be prompted to create one at this time; all admins have their own accounts and logins.

*If you do not have your VolunteerMatch organization page profile handy you can search for it here - http://bit.ly/2xnY5LV. Then follow the steps above and you’re all set.

Once you've acquired admin access, you'll be able to manage the organization dashboard and add opportunities. Visit our Help Center for more detailed information about accessing and managing your organization’s account.
