  • Opportunities to volunteer can include multiple roles and skills for multiple people volunteering for activities related to the opportunity. Scope and duration can be long-term or short-term. Volunteer opportunities and other opportunity types are configured by ServiceNow admins from the Opportunity Type Configuration form.

    Volunteer opportunities are positions or roles to which individuals offer their time and skills without expectation of compensation. Volunteer opportunities have many benefits.
    • Contribute to a community (Give back!)
    • Gain experience
    • Develop personal and professional skills

    Volunteer opportunities are often found in non-profit organizations, community groups, and other service-oriented entities. They can also be work opportunities that are outside an individual's normal scope of activities.

    Engaging in volunteer work enables individuals to contribute to their community, gain experience, and develop personal and professional skills. Volunteer opportunities can vary widely, from short-term events to long-term commitments, and they often provide a platform for networking, learning, and personal growth.
