Registering with DC Central Kitchen:
Registering with DC Central Kitchen:
Part B of your sign-up requires advanced registration with DC Central Kitchen and it supplies them with a necessary liability waiver form. It is an easy 10-minute process and here are the illustrated steps:
For all previous DCCK volunteers who have already created an account in the DC Central Kitchen portal, log in here AND THIS IS ESSENTIAL--> look in your profile under "BASIC INFORMATION" for a means to associate yourself as a CORPORATE volunteer (instead of individual) with CORNELL CLUB OF WASHINGTON so that our event will be an option for you. Then proceed from step 8 below.
Image 1
Otherwise, if you have NEVER volunteered with DCCK, create your account in their Volunteer Portal here: https://dcck.appianportals.com/dcck-volunteer-registration
2. Please select “Create an Account for GROUP Registration.” (Image 2 below.)
3. When you choose “Type of Volunteer Experience” be sure to select Corporate/Organization.
4. (You will need to make sure you have “Cornell Club of Washington DC” selected to allign your profile with our club's service opportunities. In case that opportunity does not present itself early, double check it before you try step 8.))
5. Continue to fill in the additional requested information.
6. Digitally sign your General Liability and Waiver form. NOTE: The COVID-19 Vaccine Attestation form, if even mentioned, is optional.
7. You probably need to go to your email if you are a new registrant to proceed with the email instruction to set up a personalized password if you are a new volunteer. Do that next. And after you are newly logged in, double-check your profile to make sure it has the settings as shown in image 1 above.
8. Use the "sign up" button and go to the section of the calendar for 2 pm on Jan. 24. If there are slots left, click the red "register" button.
9. Trouble-shooting: It is useful to double-check your account profile settings to make sure your profile is associated with Cornell Club of Washington as illustrated in Image 1 above. Furthermore, we have noticed that there can be a lag in the system to decrease the "slots available" with each registration. If you are concerned that you have not been counted, please simply look at your dashboard within DCCK at "home" and it will show the date that you have successfully registered for service.
If you additionally registered with CCW's web site in PART A, you are all set and registered with both organizations now. THANK YOU! The redundancy is important.
Screen shots below are useful in the process. Thanks!

If the top section is green, it should indicate how many Cornell openings are left. Then click the red REGISTER button to complete your registration. Be sure to update the portal if your plans change and send a note to Programming@cornellclubdc.org (and copy to Librarian MS @ gmail . com (no spaces) to withdraw your registration from CCW's list. ( In image below, ignore the Oct 12 reference; its an old screenshot!)
