How to post to a community

A community is a group of Open Opportunity users who may belong to different agencies, but share a common goal or interest.

You can post an opportunity or internship to a specific community. When you post to a community, the opportunity or internship will appear on both the community search results and the main Open Opportunities search results. If you post to a “closed” community, the opportunity will only appear in that community and not in the main search results.

If you don’t select a community, the opportunity or internship will appear to all users.
