Looking for the right Volunteer for your project? Read below to learn more about how to find the perfect match!

___________________________________________________________

After <a href="https://www.catchafire.org/menu/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">posting a project or call</a>, you can browse through profiles of highly qualified Volunteers and request they apply to your post. Doing so is a great way to draw attention to your post <i>and</i> speed up the matching process. And in the meantime, any remaining Volunteers who come across your project on their own will still also be able to apply!

Once you see a volunteer profile you like, select <b>Invite to Apply</b> so they know you're impressed. You'll also be able to open their profile in another window to view their experience and qualifications. 

If they're interested in working with you, they'll submit an application for your review!
