PROJECT DETAILS
What We Need
- Audit of existing Volunteer Handbook, or internal communications regarding volunteer placement policies
- Edit or creation of a new Volunteer Handbook, which may include any of the following: Virtual Volunteer, Pro-Bono Consulting, In-the-Field Service, Standards of Conduct, Volunteer Schedules, Waiver, Background Check, Termination Policies, Safety and Security, Anti-Discrimination policies, Recognition and Benefits policies, Awards, any Non-Disclosure Agreements or Conflict of Interest statements that may apply, and any other pertinent information
How This Will Help
As HavServe begins to scale and build our capacity by adding on new team members, we believe it to be a top priority to on board (share volunteer protocols, policies, and rights) in the most effective and supporting way with our team of volunteers . Validation of our Volunteer hand book would be a major step in the right direction.
What We Have In Place
We currently have an outdated Volunteer handbook which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a list of protocols, waiver, checklist, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
