Training: New Volunteers
Matching Students with Volunteers
When possible, it is a good practice to match students and volunteers purposefully - they could posses similar career interests, hobbies, or backgrounds - anything that could help create a quick working relationship between them. Feel free to use either of these forms to help guide those purposeful matches:
Training: New Volunteers
After screening volunteers and the criminal background check has been approved, volunteers must visit the Volunteer Training and complete the quizzes. Coordinators should also be familiar the training videos. These trainings provide the basic information for new volunteers. Coordinators are expected to provide additional, site-specific trainings for their volunteers.
Volunteers must complete the Required Volunteer Training
Volunteer Quiz
Volunteers are asked to complete a quiz at the end of each of the three online trainings. The only purpose of the quiz is for coordinators to track participation. Therefore, it is not required if coordinators are viewing the training with the volunteers.
Coordinators can see who has completed the online quizzes in the spreadsheet below (see the Coordinator Handbook for archived records):
