Choose your role

Volunteer, organization, or school — pick the right account type for how you'll use Yura.

Volunteer
Organization Owner
School Admin

There are three ways to use Yura. You can switch later, or hold more than one role with the same account.

Volunteer

Choose Volunteer if you want to discover events, log service hours, and build a verified record. You can join any number of organizations. This is the right choice for students, community members, retirees, and anyone giving their time.

Organization

Choose Organization if you run a nonprofit, club, program, or community group. You'll be the Owner and can invite Managers and Event Coordinators with their own permission levels.

School / Institution

Schools get extra tools — domain-mapped student sign-up, class-based volunteer groups, and graduation-requirement tracking. Contact us or schedule onboarding to get started.

Pro tip: You can be both

Many users are a Volunteer in one org and a Manager or Coordinator in another. Your single Yura account handles all roles — switch between them from the top nav.
