Our philosophy is to promote volunteering opportunities as widely as possible.
Volunteer Scotland do not directly manage or advertise opportunities on behalf of organisations and are not responsible for the content of advertisements. The opportunities displayed in our opportunity search have been created and published either by local Volunteer Centres or by the organisations themselves.
Locally: If your organisation has volunteer roles based in one or two local authority areas in Scotland, you should contact the relevant local Volunteer Centre(s) and they can help with getting your opportunities advertised.

Centrally: If your organisation has volunteer roles based across several local authority areas in Scotland, you may be eligible to use the Volunteering Zone to publish them directly to our website.
