We’ve had a few questions recently about updating volunteer listings that appear in the new All For Good Web site. Some organizations are reporting that their listings at allforgood.org have errors or else are old and outdated — which is particularly important to fix because the President’s United We Serve initiative is sure to bring more visitors than ever to Serve.gov and Serve.gov gets its information exclusively from All For Good.
The bad news is, you can’t update your listings directly at Allforgood. According to their automated email response system:
Because All for Good crawls other sites to aggregate listings, we cannot modify listings directly. If you would like to change how your listings appear on All for Good, you will need to do so at the source of the listing. You can see the web site that is providing a listing in gray on the last line of the listing, before “Like” and “Share”.
How to Update Your Allforgood.org and Serve.gov Listings
The good news is that using VolunteerMatch is the easiest way to make sure your listings at Serve.gov and All For Good are correct.
As a partner Web site for All For Good, VolunteerMatch’s volunteer opportunities are all published at allforgood.org as well as hundreds of other Web sites. So organizations that are using VolunteerMatch to post their opportunities, can just log into your VolunteeerMatch account, select their opportunity and correct it. They can also add new listings to appear at All For Good and Serve.gov. Easy!
For organizations that aren’t using VolunteerMatch, what’s keeping you? It’s free to register your nonprofit, and most organizations are approved by our team within 24 hours.
Just pick a service level that works for you, register your organization, and then post your opportunities. Our service levels range from a free Basic service for individual nonprofits, to Community Leader service for organizations that want to be more efficient in their recruiting, to Preferred Partnership programs for national and regional nonprofits that need to coordinate activities at dozens or hundreds of local chapters or agencies.
We also are helping library systems, volunteer centers, and college campuses engage their communities in service activities.

Hi Marti – Great question. Are these virtual opportunities? Definitely read this recent post if so. If not, hang in there, according to the All for Good team, they’re working bugs out of their system everyday!
I just visited serve.gov and then did a zip search that took me to All for Good. That site was slow loading and then showed about 6 listings for my zip, all from volunteersolutions, where I also have opportunities posted through my local volunteer center. None of my volunteermatch listings came up. What am I missing? Do I need to change something in my profile?
Thanks for any assistance.
