Volunteers are asked to complete the following requirements:
1. Complete and Submit Volunteer Application: Once this form is completed, our Community Relations Coordinator will reach out to you and schedule a meeting.
2. Meet with the Community Relations Coordinator: During your meeting with the Community Relations Coordinator, you will tour our campus and learn more about open volunteer opportunities. We want to know about your interests, expectations, and schedule. It's our goal to figure out the best fit for your skills and interests! After the meeting, you will be responsible for scheduling and completing the background screening.
3. Volunteer Background Screening: As a volunteer of Jack & Jill Center, you are required to complete a Level II DCF background screening. Our Community Relations Coordinator will provide you with more information about this step when the time comes.
4. Review Volunteer Handbook: Once you have received clearance on your background screening, the Community Relations Coordinator will review the Volunteer Handbook with you, have you sign it, and confirm your start date and schedule.
Please note that if you are only interested in participating in volunteering for special events, specify that on your volunteer application, and you will be added to the email list.
