Training Schedule

Volunteer Training

At this time we only have openings for volunteers for Street Outreach.

Volunteer Training Checklist 

All volunteers must complete all steps in our training checklist. You must be 18 or older to work with youth in our local program

 1. Online volunteer orientation

 

You must also complete the form linked on slide 65 of the orientation.

2. Attend basic training via Zoom

May 3rd or May 17th at 6:30 pm

3. Submit paperwork and get your background clearance

You can download paperwork and scan materials and email to [email protected]. We cannot process your background investigation without a copy of a government-issued ID. Be sure to fill out all information. 

4. “On the ground” experience

After basic training and all paperwork received to conduct your background check you will be added to the volunteer sign-up email list. Respond as indicated and show up. We request volunteers to dedicate at least 2 shifts a month (at a minimum). This helps to build relationships with the youth and overall teaming with the other volunteers.

5. Three online training lessons

Download each lesson and submit each lesson’s quiz online. Each one should take you about 30 minutes or less. It may be helpful to have two internet browser windows open while you complete each lesson – one with the PDF and the other with the quiz. Take the quiz as you go along. You will receive your scores automatically at the end of each quiz.
