Questions for Potential Volunteer Agencies

Here are some questions that project leaders may consider asking a potential volunteer agency:

Are group projects available at you organization?
What size of group can your organization accommodate? (projects that can accommodate 8-25 volunteers are ideal)
If they don't have projects available on their site, could something be done at another location instead?
Does your organization have volunteer projects available during March 26-31, 2012?
What days/times can we volunteer? (typically Saturdays or evenings work best for Grand Valley alums)
What is the contact information for the organization?
Who is the volunteer coordinator and how can they be reached?
Can you forward a written description of project(s) and of your organization?
Would the project require special accommodations (special gear or tools, is a waiver required, would the type of work limit any alums from taking part, etc.)?
