Best Practices for Opportunity Photos
Why photos matter:
- Makes your Opportunity look vibrant and attractive for prospective volunteers—they'll sign up more!
- Gives them a sense of what they'll be doing—they'll be in the right frame of mind when they arrive!
Tips for the best images:
- Use horizontal photos (16:9 aspect ratio works best)
- Choose colorful but not overwhelming images
- Show volunteers what they will be doing—give them a clear idea of their role in your Opportunity
- Avoid logos or marketing materials, as they can get cropped

Example: Here is an insufficient photo for any Opportunity:
