What is Vacation Mode in CORE?
This happens when you receive a mentoring request, but the system does not see a response within 48 hours. There may be a few different reasons for this:

- You may be out of town or otherwise unable to view your emails
- You did not realize your profile was searchable
- You may have replied to the client directly from your personal email

Please follow the steps below:

1. First, to get to your profile from the Volunteer Center homepage, click on My Profile. (You can also click on View My Profile from the CORE homepage under the “Volunteers” header.)
   
   
   
   
2. Then click the Edit Profile button.
   
   
3. Scroll down to the section called “Vocabularies”, under the Email Mentoring Availability section.
