And more! Please scroll below to view all of the posted volunteer job descriptions on our website. 

Daily Supervision 

Daily Supervisors are staff members who work with and lead the volunteers within their department. All staff is available to volunteers but the Daily Supervisor for each role will be an expert in their department. These staff members are there to support volunteers throughout their shift such as: 

• Communicating to direct supervisee volunteers program or task updates, need shift coverage or are canceling that days shift

• Correcting actions as needed (i.e. “remember to wash hands”, “please don't forget to ask for donations”, ect.)

• Providing supplies needed per shift

• Accessible resources (directions/guidelines/handbook) in their general work space 

• Present for volunteers shifts or delegated supervisor responsibility 

Training to Volunteer 

1. Your Volunteer Coordinator will email all waiting and applicant volunteers with all of the open volunteer shifts

2. Once you see a shift that works for you, please respond to the email!

3. Your staff will coordinate a start date with you and will email you all of your “first day” information

4. You will receive virtual training (dependent on role and linked below) to review prior to your first onsite training 

5. During your first training shift, you will have your staff member available to you throughout the entire 2 hours; together, you will shadow and review information and practice your volunteer role together 

6. During your second shift, your staff will be available to you sporadically throughout your shift to support you while you gain independence in the role. You will also have a Volunteer Guide available during most shifts to provide additional support. 

If you move roles or add roles to your volunteering, the same general process will occur - every role receives a virtual training, a full 2 hour training shift with a staff member, and then support as needed while you gain independence.
