Volunteer management

Draft a volunteer recruitment post

Makes it quick to produce posts that attract the right volunteers.

Lower risk: public info only — Use only public details about the opportunity.

Please note: This site is only a guide to help people understand. Consult your IT, security and/or privacy department for clarification.

Before you start, gather

Copy [DATE AND PLACE] and [SIGN-UP METHOD] from the event page or your volunteer calendar. Write [OPPORTUNITY] with the same name your sign-up form uses.

Starter prompt

Write three short recruitment posts for [SOCIAL PLATFORM] asking for volunteers for [OPPORTUNITY]. Include date and place ([DATE AND PLACE]), what volunteers will do, and how to sign up ([SIGN-UP METHOD]). Make each one a different tone: warm, urgent, and playful. Do not make up perks or promises. Use only the date, place and sign-up details I give you.

Paste the prompt into your AI tool first, then replace the placeholders with your own details. Don't use real names of clients or donors.

Open an AI tool

You are leaving this guide. Copy the prompt first, then open a tool. The link goes to the website of the company named on each link, in a new tab. That company's terms and privacy policy apply there. Paste the prompt in, then replace the placeholders with your own details. Don't enter real names or confidential details.

Check the result

Verify the date, place and sign-up instructions in every version before posting.

What it might get wrong

A wrong date, start time or meeting spot; perks like free meals or service-hour credit that were never promised; a sign-up step that does not exist.
