Although unpaid volunteers can be helpful in many areas, the use of volunteers raises concerns, including issues with confidentiality, potential liability, and claims for unemployment compensation.
In light of these facts, should you still desire to use the services of a volunteer, you should contact your senior service manager; provide him/her with a list of the volunteer's duties, a schedule of the desired hours and an explanation as to why these tasks could not be performed by regular college employees. Upon approval of the senior service manager and/or the President, the volunteer candidate shall complete an application for employment, be interviewed by the appropriate senior service manager or his/her designee, and undergo the standardized College hiring procedures.
