Volunteer Questions


What steps do potential volunteers take to begin?
After a potential volunteer expresses interest in working with BuildaBridge, he or she must first submit an updated resume and complete the BuildaBridge volunteer application. All volunteers must participate in a BuildaBridge training session, and those who plan on working directly with children go through a Child Abuse Clearance and Criminal Background Check. An interview will also take place with the BuildaBridge President, Volunteer Coordinator or one of the Program Coordinators (International or Community).
 
How much time do volunteers have to put in each week? What is the time commitment?
Each opportunity varies with time commitments. Some volunteers may commit to only once per week or once every few months. Other volunteers will be expected to participate several hours each week. Before a volunteer begins, he or she should let BuildaBridge know how much time he or she can commit to and, in turn, BuildaBridge staff will outline time expectations for particular opportunities.
