Skills-Based Opportunities

At Golden, we want to ensure that anytime a Volunteer sees an Opportunity in their Feed, they never have to wonder if they're qualified to participate. Therefore, all Open Opportunities have no skill requirements.

However, Organizations can create Private opportunities with targeted audiences to reach specific groups of participants. Here's how our privacy settings work:

Visibility: who can see the Opportunity. Choose Public (anyone can find it), Private (only participants with a specific Credential, Custom Group, or Affiliation can find it), or Unlisted (not shown in search or browsing, only reachable by direct link).

Accessibility: who can register. Choose Open (anyone who can see it can sign up) or Restricted (only participants who meet the criteria you pick can sign up).

For example, you can make an Opportunity Public so everyone sees it, and set Accessibility to Restricted so only trained participants can register.

These privacy settings allow Organizations to target Affiliations or Groups, such as "trained participants," while still encouraging Organizations to expose more innovative opportunities to involve community members with their missions!
