REGISTERING TO VOLUNTEER
1. After becoming familiar with the information on the “Get
Involved” page, click
on the VolunteerUp button to register to volunteer with Cincinnati
Habitat.
2. If this is the first time you have registered to volunteer with Cincinnati Habitat, click on the “Register” button.
3. The first step in the registration process involves selecting a user name and password.
Continue filling out the fields on the Volunteer Profile. Those fields that are asterisked are required fields.
Note
regarding some of the required fields:
- Email: If you do not have an email address, we suggest
that you sign up for a free one using any
one of the many free services such as Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.
- Home Phone: If you do not have a home phone and use your cell
phone instead, please enter your
cell phone in the home phone field.
- Minor (Yes or No): Because there are restrictions around the
work that youth under the age of 18
can do, it is required that you indicate whether or not you are a minor
(i.e., under 18).
At this point in the process, it is not necessary to fill out the “Interests and Skills” section of the Profile, though it is very helpful in helping us identify areas where we have an immediate need and might be able to place you.
Building Teams
At the very bottom of the profile is a list of organizations. If
you are part of one of the organizations/groups listed, please click on
the box in front of the appropriate group(s).
4. When you have completed the profile, click on the “Register” button at the very bottom of the page.
5. Registration information Added! Click Here to continue.
Click on the “Click Here” link and you will proceed to a Broadcast Message. These messages keep volunteers up to date on key information. Once you have read the Broadcast Message, click on the “I have read this message” button. That specific message will never appear for you again. The next time a broadcast message would appear would be if there was new information to share.
