How volunteers apply for your opportunities

When a volunteer clicks Apply on your opportunity, their application is sent directly to you.

Here’s how it works:

1. Volunteer applies

    

   • They search and select your role.

   • They click Apply and complete any required steps (such as Yoti ID verification).

    

2. Application delivery

    

   • If you included an application method (such as a web link or email address) when you uploaded your role, the application will be sent that way.

   • If you didn’t include a method, applications will automatically be sent to your organisation’s administrator email.

    

3. Managing applications

    

   • If applications come to you by email, you’ll need to accept or decline the volunteer directly via that email.

   • If you provided a URL / weblink as your application method, volunteers will apply through that system or form. You’ll still need to contact them directly to confirm the outcome.  Volunteers will see their application in their GoVo dashboard, but they won’t get an update unless you contact them.

    

💡 Tip: Always include a clear application method when uploading opportunities — this makes sure applications reach the right person or system straight away.
