Volunteer Programme

Step 6: Orientation

• Set-up an orientation process, which is usually spread over one or two weeks.
• Create an orientation checklist, which can be tailored to each volunteer position.
• Prepare documents and templates for the orientation, such as a powerpoint on the organisation, job description etc.
• Plan meetings with the supervisor and site visits.
• Share information similar to what you would share when inducting a new employee: explain office rules, information sources, logins, etc.
