Policy for volunteers’ no shows. Volunteers have a responsibility to show to the shifts they are assigned to. If Volunteers do not show for their shifts, we have a three-strike policy. First no show: They will be contacted via email/Phone Call Second now show: it will be a verbal warning, stating/explaining they have two strikes and they have one last chance. Third no Show: they will be immediately removed from any future shifts and disqualified for participating in any future volunteering program. **We encourage volunteers to give at least 24 Hours notice before Unregistering, failing to do so will be consider a no show.** Community Partner: Cristo Rey Community Center Opportunity Type: Volunteer Date: Multiple Shifts Available Zip Code: 48906 Allow Groups: Yes |
