Understanding our volunteer process
We ask all volunteers to start by completing an online application form. This form helps us get to know the volunteer applicant and assess the best placement for each individual volunteer.
Once the application has been received and processed, we will contact you with additional forms to complete, instructions on how to complete the online criminal record check, and inform you about our online volunteer training.
Each month our volunteers have access to complete our online volunteer training. The training is completely online and self-paced, so volunteers have the ability to start and stop at their leisure. Volunteers will typically have 7-10 days to complete the training, but extensions are available should you need them.
Once the training is complete and the paperwork has been received, the volunteer will participate in a short interview and placement assessment with the volunteer coordinator to select the best fit for the volunteer. The interview may take place at the ICCC community office, or on site, depending.
Please know that our volunteer process, including criminal record check, training and interviewing often takes up to 1-2 months to complete. If you are looking for a quick placement, or short term commitment, please contact Sara directly at volunteercoordinator@iccare.ca
