Description

This workshop will discuss the policies that should first be in place for eligible and ineligible volunteer applicants, the free web sites and the sites that charge for information. This workshop will discuss the collective process that good job descriptions, written applications, reference questionnaires, and interviews play in screening volunteers. It will include stories of successful and unsuccessful screenings of volunteers and the implications for not screening a volunteer if there is “incident.” This is an interactive workshop so bring your questions!
