Evolution of a Volunteer Awareness: Individuals understand that their personal time, shared with someone who needs a hand, can make the world of difference. Recruitment: Mayflower RSVP reaches out via cable TV, newspapers, organizations and word-of-mouth from one to another to say, “I can do it; so can you!” Interview: Mayflower RSVP interviews each prospective volunteer to identify how their skills & interests can serve best. Volunteers performing direct service to vulnerable recipients must pass a Criminal Background Check (CORI) before placement. Placement: Each prospective volunteer is offered a Service Activity that most nearly fits with their interests, skills and availability. Each volunteer is encouraged to accept only the level of commitment that they can fulfill. Training: Volunteers are expected to attend orientation and training programs designed to strengthen the consistency of effectiveness of the program and of each volunteer. Evaluation: Consistent monitoring goes on to deliver: Improved program design + Personal Volunteer growth = Continuously improving results
