What We Ask of Our Volunteers

Age Requirements

18+ for independent volunteering. 16-17 with a parent or guardian present. 8-15 for family volunteer activities with adult supervision.

Background Check

For positions working directly with families or having access to personal information, we conduct basic background checks. This protects both our volunteers and the families we serve.

Orientation

All new volunteers attend a brief orientation (about 1 hour) covering our mission, values, policies, and procedures. Orientations are held [SCHEDULE] or by appointment.

Reliability

We depend on volunteers to keep our Community Closet running smoothly. If you commit to a shift, we ask that you show up or give advance notice if you can't make it.

Respect & Confidentiality

Treat all families and fellow volunteers with dignity and respect. Keep any personal information you encounter confidential.

Alignment with Mission

We ask that volunteers support our mission of serving all families without judgment, regardless of income or background. Supplies from The Verde Villages are free regardless of income or residence.
