Becoming a Volunteer is a multiple step process. The first requires the
Volunteer Applicant to gather some information about themself. This
information is listed in the Requirements below. The second step is to
take our Volunteer Challenge Exam; and the third step is to call the
Volunteer Office and schedule an interview.
All the necessary information, forms and steps you need to take prior
to an interview are as follows:
Do NOT print the Volunteer Core Competency Handbook - it is 74
pages. However, do print and complete the Volunteer Challenge Exam (4
pages) and bring the completed exam to your interview.
- Bring the completed Challenge Exam, the Medical History Form, and
the appropriate required documents with you to the interview.
Orientation is also a multiple step process, the first step is to read
the Volunteer Core Competency Handbook and complete the Volunteer
Challenge Exam. The remaining orientation takes place after you have been
accepted as a volunteer.
NOTE:
COMPLETION OF THE VOLUNTEER CHALLENGE EXAM AND OBTAINING THE
APPROPRIATE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS DOES NOT GUARANTEE A VOLUNTEER
ASSIGNMENT.
