Volunteers are responsible for signing in and out and keeping track of volunteer hours as required by the Department; the Volunteer Coordinator will show you where the designated book or sign-in kiosk is located. Accuracy in recording your volunteer hours is important because they are used to report statistics, apply for grants and for written volunteer verification.

You will be provided a volunteer name badge when you begin your volunteer service with us. When you sign-in, be sure to put on a volunteer badge and wear it during the duration of your volunteer shift. The badge is important for identifying who you are to both staff and residents.
