Volunteer screening policy development tool

2013

This document was created by the Volunteer Centre of Guelph/Wellington as a step-bystep guide to the development of a policy and procedure surrounding volunteer screening.
In Step #1, you will think about why your organization should screen prospective volunteers and you will then be able to use this information to develop a policy statement.
In Step #2 and beyond, you will answer questions about the logistics related to volunteer screening.
By completing these steps, you will have made all the decisions relevant to volunteer screening and will be able to use the resulting information to develop a screening policy and procedure for your organization.
A policy template is included at the end of this document. You may choose to use this as a starting point and input all of the decisions you have made by using this tool into that document.
