The application form in your Volunteer Impact account consists of a few different building blocks. The first section includes contact details.

The following contact fields are already built into the application form, so it is pretty much ready to go. If you would like to shorten this list there is a setting that will only show the fields marked as required (*).

• Title/Salutation,

• Legal First Name,

• Preferred First Name*,

• Middle Name,

• Last Name*,

• Postal Address*

• Town/City*,

• State/Province*,

• Country*,

• Post/Postal/Zip code*,

• Email Address*,

• Telephone Numbers (Home, Work, Cellular)*,

• Phone Preferences, Language/Regional Preference,

• Date of Birth,

• Twitter Username,

• Linked-in Profile URL

Except for potentially shortening the list to only show the fields marked * and an option to include the date of birth field and make it required, there’s no other work needed here. We will review how to shorten the list a little later.

You also have the option to include a general availability grid on your application form if you need one. Custom fields, general interests, and qualifications can also be created to customize your application form. All of these blocks serve a different purpose and will be reviewed in greater detail in the next few sections.
