Adding New Volunteer Station Information
The more high-quality, impact-based volunteer stations
that are entered into JASON, the more effective a tool it will be for
senior service! Check out some sample description volunteer
opportunities for RSVP, FGP, or SCP.

Tip:
You
may also choose to highlight a general activity rather than an
individual station. In this case, type in the name of the opportunity
or activity (e.g., Tutoring Elementary School Students) in the Station Name
field, and then add your project contact information, rather than the
station contact. You may also add “one-time only” opportunities by
typing the name of the event (e.g. MLK Day) in the Station Name field, and then selecting the appropriate start and end dates. |
Follow the steps below to add station information to your project listing.
- Log in using your e-mail address and password if you are not already logged in. Go to the View Project List page in JASON.
- Click on Add New [Project Name] Station to Database link towards the top of the page. (see image below)
This will take you to a data entry form identical to
the one you completed for your project information. The only difference
is that this one will be completely blank. Fill in all the required
information (denoted by red * ) and then click on Save Draft.
If the Submit Station
button has disappeared you may need to do some editing. Look through
your data entry screen for fields that have been highlighted in gray.
This indicates that the field is incomplete, or that you have exceeded
the maximum number of characters allowed in a text field.
- When you have completed the Station Listing form, click on Submit Station to alert the CNCS state office that you have added a new station that needs approval.
- Later, to make a station inactive, you may click on the Set Disable Status link in the blue navigation bar. Then click the Disabled button
next to the station you no longer want. The station information will
remain in the database, but will not be active for searching. To
permanently delete a station, you may simply write over the information
and save it as a different station. You will also notice that the
disabled project now disappears from the Project Main Menu and View Project List pages, but can still be accessed from the Set Disable Status page.

Tip:
Take care not to disable your entire project, as this will block you out from being able to edit your project information. | |
