How to add Age Requirements for Jobs

Age requirements can be added to a job within your Event or Program to ensure volunteers meet a minimum age.

Please note: Age requirement is included with the Grow Plan and the Applicant Vetting add-on for the Discover Plan. Contact [e-mail] to add this feature to your account.

Setup requirements

• The Event/Program must be connected to an Application Form
• The Application must ask each volunteer for Date of Birth
  • The Date of Birth field must be a Date Field and have the field designation of Birthday (date)
    ‼️ If the Date of Birth is not requested, the VolunteerLocal platform cannot verify the volunteer's age or enforce the requirement.
