Supervisors are responsible for completing this form and submitting it to Human Resources before a volunteer begins their assignment.
High-Risk Volunteers:
- Interact often or over an extended period with members.
- May supervise members without an employee present.
- Working with or supervising children.
- Will be volunteering frequently.
- Limited supervision.
- Examples include volunteer program instructor, regularly scheduled volunteer coach.
- Must complete all required training like regular staff who oversee children in WWFY programs.
Low-Risk Volunteers:
- Typically interacts with members in the presence of an employee.
- Usually only volunteering at a one-time event.
- Limited time to develop relationships with members.
- Minimal interactions with children; primarily working with adults.
