VOLUNTEER PERSONNEL
POLICIES
SELECTION &
PLACEMENT
Each volunteer is selected on
the basis of ability to perform the volunteer position,
volunteer and council need, ability and willingness to
attend training, and qualifications for membership in the
Girl Scout Movement. There shall be no discrimination
against an otherwise qualified adult volunteer by reason of
disability age, race, color, ethnicity, sex, creed, national
origin, religion, citizenship, ancestry, marital status,
veteran status, socioeconomic status, or other
characteristics protected by federal, state, or local law.
Every attempt will be made to place volunteers in positions
that meet both their needs and the needs of the council. In
instances where this is not possible, the judgment of the
council will take precedence. Individuals not placed in a
position for which they applied may be recommended for other
positions, and they may request reassignment.
Adults who want to serve in
appointed positions must:
-
Complete a Volunteer Staff
Application that is approved, receive at least three
positive, non-related references, and successfully
complete a criminal records check
-
Participate in a phone or
face-to-face interview in which relevant skills and
interests will be discussed.
Upon placement, volunteers
will be provided with volunteer policies, a job description
and appropriate council and Girl Scouts of the U.S.A.
policies, standards and guidelines. Every effort will be
made to find a rewarding position that will suit the
individual’s interests, skills and knowledge. Anyone not
placed will be given the reason why.
