Creating Custom Skills

While you cannot edit or delete the default skills and skill categories that come with the system, HandsOn Connect allows you to add new skills to the skill profiles used by volunteers and volunteer opportunities,

NOTE:  As of Feb, 2020 it IS possible for our support staff to delete the default skills that come with the system, though doing so would mean you would lose any skill rating records associated with skills you no longer use.

Additionally - it's now possible for support to update your skill records, so that you can deactivate a skill, without deleting it.  A deactivated skill will no longer appear on the public website.

If you need a skill deactivated, please open a support ticket and request the ability to deactivate existing skills.
