IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING: report any emergencies or suspicious activity to nearest Palm Beach Sheriff Officer or one of our private security guards immediately. Then notify Jennifer Costello
We encourage volunteers to have a meal before their shift. (Drinks and light snacks will be provided at Volunteer Check-in area).
Volunteer Check-In:
Greet the volunteer and ask which group they are representing, so you can find the correct page for them to sign-in. (If their name is not on the list call their Group Coordinator listed at the top of the sign-up sheet or Jennifer Costello to clarify).
Volunteers may work a double shift if they desire. Please confirm they are registered for multiple shifts. If a volunteer is asked to stay for a double shift to cover a “no-show”, the Volunteer Coordinator must return to the VOLUNTEER CHECK-IN prior to beginning the covered shift to notate the change on the sheets. (This will provide us with an overall picture of staffing and may enable us to place volunteers in areas short staffed.)
• Ask volunteer which organization they are volunteering with/for and obtain their signature in the sign-in box.
• Issue a shirt once the volunteer has signed in (1 per volunteer)
• Plastic storage bins will be provided with the volunteer shirts, separated by size
• Inform all volunteers that they should locate and review the job description posted in their assigned area and
review it carefully. (Some job descriptions are outlined by specific times and specific tasks.)
• Advise volunteer their Coordinator will take them to their assigned location (Site Plan).
