- Do you have any allergies we should know about?
- Can we contact you about similar Opportunities?
- Would you be interested in sharing photos from the Opportunity?
These are only a few examples of the kinds of questions you can ask to get the information you need!

- You can require them so that volunteers must answer them when responding to an Opportunity or you can keep them as an optional step.
