Use Toolmu get-volunteer-opportunity-idealist to review one selected volunteer opportunity. Reuse a working Toolmu connection or follow https://toolmu.com/SKILL.md to connect. Check current inputs, availability and every credit ceiling; search and detail requests together must fit my authorization and total budget. Accept an opportunity title, ordinary keywords or host organization name. Reuse a verified selected volunteer search row, or first use search-volunteer-opportunities-idealist with the actual keywords and prepare the initial page internally. Obtain the detail identifier only from the same actual selected volunteer row’s objectID, never asking me for an ID or guessing from the title. Show readable actual titles, hosts and locations for selection when ambiguous. Do not pretend location keywords are an applied geographic-radius filter. Summarize the actual work, host, time commitment, location or remote restrictions and participation/application requirements. Preserve short commitment labels and detailed text separately when they conflict. Missing dates or timezone do not imply an unrestricted schedule; requirements do not establish my eligibility or that the opportunity is still open. Requested items may be ordinary information rather than uploaded files, so read source instructions for each. Return the source posting link and questions to confirm without applying or booking participation.

Read an Idealist volunteer job description

You receive

Review one selected Idealist volunteer opportunity with its role description, host organization, work location or remote scope, time commitment, participation conditions and available application instructions. Prepare questions before deciding to participate: what work is involved, what time is expected, where you may take part and what information the organization requests. Read the full stated conditions rather than relying on a short label.

Start with your task

Find the Idealist volunteer opportunity matching [opportunity title, keywords or host organization name]. Summarize the work, host, time commitment, location restrictions and application requirements; flag conflicting schedules or missing dates.

What to know

Time labels and detailed commitment text can disagree; preserve both and confirm the arrangement with the organization. Missing dates or timezone do not establish an unrestricted schedule. Location and requirement labels do not verify your eligibility or that the opportunity is still open. This Tool reads the record and does not apply or book participation.

Result schema

No fixed output contract is available. Field types reflect saved result evidence; individual responses can differ.

Result schema
Field / Path	Type	Meaning
Returned opportunity ID`result.data.data.id`	`string`	Identifier of the returned record, for checking that it matches the requested opportunity.
Opportunity title`result.data.data.name`	`string`	Title listed for the volunteer role.
Host organization`result.data.data.org.name`	`string`	Organization named as hosting the opportunity; this field does not verify its identity or legal status.
Opportunity description`result.data.data.description`	`string`	Detailed source HTML text. Format it for reading while preserving stated duties and conditions, rather than using only the shortened text.
English source opportunity`result.data.data.url.en`	`string`	English Idealist page reference for reviewing the source instructions and context.
Participation arrangement`result.data.data.remoteOptions.locationType`	`string`	Source arrangement label, such as HYBRID for combined on-site and remote activity. Read geographic conditions separately.
Remote geographic scope`result.data.data.remoteOptions.remoteZone`	`string`	Source scope label, such as STATE for a state-level restriction. It does not grant worldwide access.
Remote state`result.data.data.remoteOptions.remoteState`	`string`	State code supplied for the remote scope, such as CA. Read it with remoteCountry and the source requirements.
Remote country`result.data.data.remoteOptions.remoteCountry`	`string`	Country code supplied for the remote scope, such as US. It is distinct from the organization address.
Time-commitment category`result.data.data.expectedTime`	`string`	Short source time category, such as FEW_HOURS_MONTH for a few hours per month. Keep it separate from commitmentDetails if the detailed frequency differs.
Detailed commitment`result.data.data.commitmentDetails`	`string`	Text describing the expected commitment. Preserve any stated frequency and duration, including differences from the short category.
Time-of-day categories`result.data.data.timesOfDay`	`array`	List of source time categories, such as WEEKDAYS_EVENINGS for weekday evenings. These labels do not supply exact times or a timezone.
Recurring opportunity`result.data.data.isRecurring`	`boolean`	Whether the source marks the opportunity as recurring. The boolean does not determine its exact schedule or end date.
Other participation requirements`result.data.data.otherRequirements`	`string`	Additional source requirements. Read them with the description and screening fields rather than treating a short label as an eligibility decision.
Orientation required`result.data.data.orientationRequired`	`boolean`	Whether the source requires an orientation. Preserve the returned boolean and consult the instructions for what it involves.
Background check required`result.data.data.backgroundCheckRequired`	`boolean`	Whether the source requires a background check. It does not mean any check has been completed or eligibility approved.
Application instructions`result.data.data.applyText`	`string`	Source application text, possibly HTML. A null application URL or email does not mean there are no instructions.
Requested application items`result.data.data.requestedAttachments`	`array`	List of descriptors with type, label and isRequired. Items can request information rather than uploaded files; no personal answers are returned in these descriptors.
Start date`result.data.data.startDate`	`null`	Source start date when supplied. Null gives no date and must not be replaced by a publication timestamp.
End date`result.data.data.endDate`	`null`	Source end date when supplied. Null does not establish an indefinite commitment or a deadline equal to record expiry.
Schedule timezone`result.data.data.timezone`	`null`	Timezone when supplied. If null, do not infer a zone from the location or convert the listed times as though a zone were given.

Additional notes

Read the short time category beside the detailed commitment. A record can label the commitment as a few hours per month while its text asks for 1–2 hours per week for one year. Neither statement should overwrite the other; report the difference and ask the organization which schedule applies. Recurring status, time-of-day labels and exact dates are also separate information.

Remote work still has a geographic scope. A HYBRID opportunity can combine on-site and remote activity while limiting participation to a state and country. Read the description, geographic fields and any residency or screening requirements together; a remote label alone does not mean worldwide participation.

The required identifier is the objectID from Idealist volunteer opportunity search. Provide that ID rather than an opportunity title or page URL. Check the current Tool input requirements.
