New volunteer paperwork

How to deal with the new volunteer paperwork

The new forms

• Volunteer Application
• Volunteer Orienation Packet
• Community Serve Information
• Free Geek and Spanish

Where to find them

• On the wiki under Dead trees in the Volunteer Information section.

What to do with the new forms

• All new volunteers need the Volunteer Application and Orientation Packet. Please hand these to the volunteer before the tour and explain that they need to sign the bottom of the application once they have read the packet. The Volunteer Application must be turned in to us, entered into the database and filed. The Volunteer Orientation Packet is to stay with the new volunteer.

Circumstances that will require more action

• The volunteer is completing community service hours for court
  • If this is the case they are to be directed to Mary Kate. If Mary Kate is not available they are to be directed to Caitlin
• The volunteer is not legally able to be around children
  • If this is the case they are not able to volunteer at Free Geek due to the fact that children volunteer here. You can grab a staff member if you are having a difficult time communicating this point.
• The volunteer has a restraining order against them
  • If this is the case we must make sure that the other party in the restraining order does not volunteer here. Get a staff member to handle this situation.
