Tips to Improve Your Activity Listing Over Time

Want to attract more volunteers and keep them coming back? A strong activity listing doesn’t just happen once — it grows better over time. Here are some of our top tips for keeping your listing fresh, engaging, and effective:

1.Show your activity with visuals, don’t just tell

📸 Add photos or videos from past activities. People connect more when they can see the experience, not just read about it.

You can even embed a short YouTube clip or YouTube Short to humanise your activity and help volunteers connect with it more easily.

2. Share voices that matter through volunteer reviews and photos

💬 Encourage your volunteers to leave reviews after they join an activity. Authentic reviews build trust — and trust is what convinces someone new to click “Sign up.” You can also highlight a beneficiary story or two to show the impact directly.

On volunteer.give.asia, reviews can include both photos and written feedback — which means your listing doesn’t just tell people about the activity, it shows them real experiences from your community. Here are some examples:

3. Keep the activity details sharp with the latest accurate information

✍️ Update dates, requirements, or meeting points as soon as they change. Accurate infomation prevents confusion and sets the right expectations.

4. Highlight the fun factors in your activity

🎉 Don’t forget to mention the little things that make the activity enjoyable — snacks, music, group vibes, or certificates of appreciation.

5. Refresh your activity details regularly

📝 Even small edits — tweaking the description, updating highlights, or adding a new image — signal that your activity is current and cared for.

6. Point volunteers to your socials

📲 While you can’t add clickable links inside the activity listing, you can share your social media handles in the organiser profile section. Use that space to let volunteers know where they can find more photos, videos, or updates. A simple line like “Check out our Instagram for event highlights” makes your listing feel more alive and connected to your community.
