Having Trouble Seeing Opportunities that are Full?
Having Trouble Seeing Opportunities that are Full?
Sometimes, we have reached the maximum number of signups for a volunteer opportunity and cannot accept any more. If you want to view that opportunity, you may be finding it difficult to find. Take a look at the photo below. The red circled check box that says "Only include activities that have openings available" is frequently checked by default. If this box is checked, you will not be able to view opportunities that are full. If you uncheck this box, you should be able to view the opportunities that are fully booked, as well as who has signed up for them, as long as the person signed up has made their name publicly available in their profile. See the above section on "Information in your Profile and Trainings" to check how to make your name visible to other volunteers.
