Volunteering

SkillBridge matches volunteers to events based on the skills they offer.

Setting your skills

Go to Profile → Skills and add the skills you want to offer. These are used by organization admins to find the right volunteers for their events.

Finding opportunities

• Browse organizations and their upcoming events from the Organizations page
• Check your dashboard for events relevant to your skills

Downloading your contract and job description

Once your registration for an event is approved (or marked as attended), two PDFs become available from My Events:

• Volunteer contract — the legal volunteering contract for that event, generated from the organisation's and your own existing data. Your domicile address and personal ID number are left blank for you to fill in by hand, as is the document's Nr. line. The contract includes an auto-filled generation date.
• Job description (Anexa nr. 1) — a separate PDF describing your role: the team you're assigned to (or the event itself, if you're not assigned to a specific team), your tasks, the skills involved, and your supervisor. Also includes a generation date, with the Nr. line left blank.

Both are generated on demand — nothing is emailed or stored ahead of time.

Checking in and out with a QR code

If the event organizer has enabled QR check-in, a coordinator will display a QR code on their screen (from the event's Timesheet tab) when you arrive. Open Check In in the navigation bar and point your camera at the code — you'll see a confirmation that you've checked in.

Scan the same QR code again when you leave to check out. The screen will show how long you volunteered (e.g. "2h 15m").

If you forget to scan out, the platform will automatically close your session at the end of the event day and flag it for coordinator review.

The QR code refreshes every two minutes, so a screenshot taken earlier won't work once it's expired.

Logging hours manually

Manual logging is always available when the organizer has enabled event documents & tracking, whether or not QR check-in is also on — for example if you forgot your phone or the scanner was unavailable. Log a time block directly from My Events:

1. Find the event row and click Log Hours.
2. Select your check-in date and time, then your check-out date and time.
3. Click OK — the entry is submitted with a pending status for coordinator review.

Manual entries go through the same approval workflow as QR-scanned sessions.

Downloading your volunteer certificate

After an event ends and your registration is marked as attended, you can download a Volunteer Certificate (Certificat de voluntariat) from My Events — provided the event organizer has enabled this feature.

The certificate is generated on demand and includes your name, the event details, the total validated volunteer hours, and the generation date (the Nr. line is left blank).

The certificate only becomes available once at least one of your timesheet sessions (logged manually or via QR check-in) has been validated by a coordinator.

Click Download Certificate next to the event row to save the PDF.

Once the certificate is available, an Download Evaluation Sheet button also appears next to it. The evaluation sheet (Fișa de Evaluare) summarises your skills, validated hours, and a general assessment field, and bears the organization's signature and stamp when configured.
