Things to Remember When Volunteering

• Make sure you know the name and title of your agency supervisor. Get to know them; share your information with them also (Box# or address and local phone#).
• Always call if you are scheduled to volunteer and you cannot make it.
• Make your supervisor aware of your schedule early on; include things such as Spring Breaks, exam weeks, holidays.
• Find out if there is a dress code. You should try to fit in as much as possible.
• Let The Community Outreach Office know when and where you are volunteering.
• Keep a log of your hours using the online service activity log.
• Stop into The Community Outreach Office periodically to keep us updated as to your progress. If you have any questions or concerns about your experiences, please make every effort to discuss them with the director.
• Keep a journal of your service activities. Try and take time to reflect how your service work is affecting you as a person.
• Where do you see growth?
• What areas need improvement?
