Make sure when you list your opportunity that you've ticked the relevant boxes on the "Areas of interest" and "Employability skills" tabs. These help students to filter opportunities and find roles that suit their circumstances or requirements.
It's also useful to make sure you've filled out the role description section of your opportunity listing as thoroughly as possible. The "Benefits to self" and "Benefits to others" boxes are a great way to explain to a potential volunteer why volunteering with your organisation can help them develop themselves and their skill set, and what passions they might share with your organisation. You can also include an organisation biography and embed website or YouTube links within the "More information" box on your provider details page.
If you feel you're not generating the interest you had hoped, please email us at volunteering@shu.ac.uk. We're be happy to chat with you about ways we can increase engagement with your opportunity. This could include us getting in touch with students on a specific course that's relevant to your role, or even a society that shares similar interests.
