Volunteer Policy

Volunteers work under the supervision of, and at the request of, administrators and staff.

Prospective volunteers who will work directly with students must complete an application form and confidentiality agreement. For purposes of this policy, examples of such volunteers would include, but not be limited to, an advisor to a student club or a volunteer working with a sports team. Reference and background checks will also be performed for all such prospective volunteers in accordance with College policy. Failure to complete the volunteer paperwork, or submit to a background check, will remove a prospective volunteer from consideration. The Vice President of Human Resources, or their designee, in consultation with the supervising staff member, is authorized to use their discretion to decline an application or terminate the services of a volunteer if one fails to submit completed paperwork, derogatory information is received through the background check in accordance with standard background check procedure, or it is determined to be in the best interests of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ College.  

The supervising staff member is responsible for giving volunteers a clear understanding of the duties, procedures, and expectations necessary to perform their assignments.

This requirement applies even after a volunteer stops performing services for ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ College.
5. Volunteers will conduct themselves in a professional manner and comply with all applicable policies, rules, and directions from college personnel.
