What is the Difference Between “Active” and “Submitted” Opportunities?

Before opportunities are shared publicly, they are screened in order to ensure that the event is appropriate, and the details are understandable to our volunteers. 

When a new event is created, it's status shows as "submitted," meaning it's waiting to be screened. All opportunities are screened within one business day. 

Once they have been approved, their status returns to "active."

If your opportunity runs out of time slots, even though the status may be "active," this opportunity will not show up to our volunteers. Only live events with upcoming time slots can be seen on Golden, so make sure you create new time slots when they are about to run out!

Note: Enterprise clients have the ability to turn off approval queues. Please speak with support or your client strategist for more information.
