The more information you can share with our nonprofit community, the more you're putting a face behind the skills you're offering (literally!). Read below for instructions on how to update your profile.
Your Profile Settings
To view and access your personal profile for editing, simply hover over your profile image on the top-right of the site, select "My Profile," then select "Edit Profile" (listed in red). You'll then be brought to your Settings, where you can adjust the various aspects included in your profile.
Your Personal Profile
Your Personal Profile is where you can add your name, photo, current job title, location, biography and related links. We encourage you to make sure this information is always up-to-date! Here's a few tips for what to include in your bio to make your profile really stand out:
Your current title and what you do
What you enjoy about your job
Why you're passionate about skills-based volunteering
A professional accomplishment
A fun fact about yourself!
Connecting your Catchafire profile with your LinkedIn account
Our mission is to create a more loving world where we all can use our talents for the collective benefit. Please note that language on your profile that is inaccurate, defamatory, or abusive will be investigated.
Tip: Check out the "Ready to Volunteer Status" toggle! If your status is "on", we'll email you with project recommendations, and nonprofits will be able to request you to work with them.
Your Professional Experience
Don't forget to also include your work experience and professional accomplishments. The easiest way to do this is by importing your resume directly from your LinkedIn. If you want, you can also enter your experience manually by selecting the "Add Experience" button.
Your Project Preferences
Within this section you can edit the skill and cause areas that act as your default preferences when browsing the Find A Project page.

Here you can update the kinds of volunteer opportunity-related emails you receive. Please note that our email communications come from no-reply@catchafire.org. If you aren't receiving them, be sure to check your spam folder and add the address to your contact list!
