Volunteers
Welcome to the Volunteer Document Center! As you embark on launching a program similar to ours, we're thrilled to share our resources to help you get started on the right foot.
Your Resource Hub:
-
Handbook: Craft a comprehensive guide outlining your program's mission, values, and operational procedures. This document will be your volunteers' roadmap to understanding expectations and navigating their roles effectively.
-
Bylaws: Establish legal frameworks to protect both your organization and its volunteers. Draft agreements, waivers, and policies that outline rights, responsibilities, and liabilities clearly and comprehensively.
-
Event Sign-up: Implement an efficient system for volunteers to sign up for shifts or opportunities. Providing an accessible platform for scheduling ensures that volunteer participation aligns seamlessly with program needs. We use our University platform, GrizHub, for this.
-
Feedback Forms: Foster a culture of continuous improvement by soliciting feedback from volunteers. Constructive input will guide program enhancements and strengthen volunteer engagement over time.
-
Contact: Establish open lines of communication for volunteers to seek assistance or clarification as needed. Approachability and responsiveness are key to fostering a supportive volunteer community.
