Plainly put
What it does, and doesn't.
Suggestions are based on the skills volunteers have recorded and the words in your task, so they are a starting point rather than a decision. Opportunities are shown to your own volunteers in their portal; Volunteeria does not publish them on external volunteering websites.
Common questions
Good to know.
