PPC - Volunteer Process

Steps for Recruiting a Volunteer

1. Create an opportunity in the Volunteer Management System.
2. Email Volunteer Services [email protected] and explain your volunteer needs.
3. Review applicants received from Volunteer Services.
4. Interview potential volunteers.
5. Notify Volunteer Services of which volunteers you would like to place in your opportunity.
6. If they are under 17, make sure the volunteer has a parent or guardian sign the parental waiver. After that is completed forward to Volunteer Services.
7. If they over 17, Volunteer Services will run a background check.
8. After paperwork and/or background check is complete and in good-standing, please communicate event details with selected volunteer(s).
