You can use Quick Filters to easily find related volunteer opportunities according to a predefined set of criteria. Labeled Quick Filters are found under the search bar when finding a volunteer opportunity. For example, you could create a ‘Pride Month’ Quick Filter that returns all volunteer opportunities with a ‘Pride Month’ tag.
