How to add a participant to an opportunity

If you’re a sitewide or community administrator, you can add a participant to a one-time opportunity as long as the opportunity is open, not open, or in progress. You can’t add a participant to a detail or lateral, because those opportunities require a resume and statement of interest to apply.

To add a participant:

1. Sign in to Open Opportunities.
2. Go to the Administration section on your dashboard.
3. Click the Sitewide, Agency or Community tab. Depending on your role, you’ll only have tab options that you’re an administrator for. If you are a community manager, you will only have the Community tab.
4. Click Manage Opportunties in the sub-navigation.
5. Select the Open, Not open, or In progress status to find the opportunity you want to update.
6. Click the Add participant icon.
7. Type the person’s name until you see it in the list—they must have an Open Opportunities account.
8. Select the person’s name and click Add applicant.
