Volunteer at CVI
CVI is excited to reintroduce our volunteer opportunities!
If you have an interest in volunteering at CVI, our satellite locations or our events, please fill out the form here and we will reach out to you for further information about our volunteer orientation and sign-up slots.
All volunteer opportunities are in-person. Volunteer time slots are sent out via newsletter every month, and slots are first-come-first serve.
If you plan to volunteer on a regular basis, please indicate that in your sign-up form and we will coordinate a specific time with you.
General volunteer expectations are as follows:
- Attend an official CVI volunteer orientation over Microsoft Teams
- Orientation meetings take place on the first Thursday of the month.
- The next volunteer meeting will be on November 6th at 4:00pm
- Please fill out the volunteer interest form above to receive the meeting link
- Volunteers must provide and pass a background check, obtained by their own means.
- For college students, universities typically provide free or low-cost background checks for students
- Older background checks are accepted, but must not be dated further back than six months prior to the volunteer start date.
- Volunteers are expected to show up when they sign up for a volunteer slot. We ask volunteers to give at least 24-hours notice if they no longer plan to volunteer on a given day.
- Consistent failure to show or notify staff if a volunteer does not show up will result in termination of volunteer status at CVI
- Volunteers are not required to volunteer on a consistent basis; however, they are encouraged to donate their time at least once every six months to stay up to date with CVI.
- If an individual has not volunteered in over six months, they will be removed from the volunteer listserv and will ask to re-complete the volunteer orientation and background check process if they wish to come back.
