Please be reminded that all Volunteers who work with clients or in clients' homes (including the Group Home) must
meet with Leigha in Community Development before starting service. There are required forms
and an orientation for every volunteer and a background check for everyone 18 or
older. These rules have been established by Licensure and the Board for our
clients’ safety. All volunteers’ service hours must be recorded. Please see
Leigha if you have any questions.
Recently the question was asked in the Waiver Office about volunteering more time with a Waiver client to extend time with the client after a Waiver shift ends. Waiver employees may not volunteer their time. Family members or friends of Waiver employees may volunteer but they must first follow the procedures outlined above and pass a background check before starting service.
