When volunteering, what is expected of me?

Once you’re a volunteer, there are various responsibilities you must assume. These include being:

Punctual and Reliable: always arrive on time. If you know you are going to be absent, be sure to notify your supervisor in advance so they can find a replacement volunteer.

Committed: if you signed up to volunteer 2 hours weekly for 2 months, attend all your shifts. You must remain a volunteer during the entire period of time for which you committed yourself to.

Professional: abide by the rules and regulations of the organization at all times and never release confidential information regarding the organization’s patients or clients.

Enthusiastic: show your interest in the organization and its cause by demonstrating a willingness to learn and, to share your skills and experiences with others.

Respectful: respect the differences in your colleagues and be a team player.
