# Templates for Volunteer Website Role Adverts
To format your role ads on the Volunteer Website, you need to use something called HTML. Without HTML, your role description will appear as one long block of text, which is hard to read and digest. To help with this, you can copy and paste one of the templates below into your ads. Then, you just have insert links specific to your team and add any extra text you need to make your ad look marvellous!
You will need to replace everthing in caps with your group info and links. Remember to delete the square brackets. You can view how the ad will appear above each of the HTML templates.
#### To insert links specific to your team:
1. Find your group on the Organism
2. Select the option 'Mandate' top right
3. Select and copy the URL [address at the top of the web page]
4. Paste over the word LINK in the template
4. Find your parent circle on the Organism and repeat steps 2, 3 & 4
We've created role advertisment (ad) templates for the following roles:-
- Internal Coordinator (IC)
- External Coordinator (EC)
- Facilitator
- Budget Holder
- Secretary (Minute Taker)
There are standard mandates for these roles on the Organism and so we've included links to these in the templates. If you are advertising a different role, discuss the tasks the role holder will need to do with your group and add these to the task list under 'Some of the [ROLE NAME] tasks include:'
