What’s Next? (For Event Based Volunteers Only)
After your application is received, you will receive an email with details about a virtual event volunteer training. (This is a mandatory part of participation in a volunteer assignment. If a volunteer can’t attend, they can make arrangements to attend an alternate training with the program director.)
Volunteers should arrive at their event according to their scheduled time, and the program director will direct them to their volunteer assignment (if they haven’t been given the assignment prior to the event). Volunteers are expected to complete their duties according to the specifications outlined in the volunteer training and attend to the participants according to the TELIC Way, which is explained in detail during the training, as well.
