Subject: Training Material |
| I am the new Volunteer Administrator for InterAct Cleveland. I am looking for some guidance/help (either in ideas and/or examples of existing training materials) for the training of volunteers for community service (rather than in-house). Any and all help is appreciated. Contact me at tsacco@interactcleveland.org or 216-241-0230. Thanks! |

Subject: Grievance procedure for volunteers |
| I have an immediate need. Our organization has been going through personnel changes that have been a challenge to the volunteer program. We currently have no policy or procedure in place for processing volunteer grievances. I would appreciate some insight into what other organizations are doing to provide volunteers opportunity to dispute re-assignment of role or location. |

| Sherri,
Not sure if you are still looking, but the Cleveland Food Bank had a posting a few weeks ago on Careerbuilder.com.

| I was recently laid off from Berea Children's Home & Family Services due to budget cuts. They have turned the volunteers over to their HR Department. I am very interested in knowing of any openings in Volunteer Administration which my fellow FVA Members may be aware. Thank you! |

Subject: Background Checks |
| At University Hospital we background check all volunteers over 18. We have the ability to perform the fingerprinting electronically. If the volunteer has not lived in OH for 5 years we also perform an FBI check in addition to a BCI. The FBI prints are done in ink and completed in duplicate. For the photo ID badges we now take a digital photo when the volunteer attends orientation and send it to HR with their area. This saves a trip. If you have additional questions feel free to call me at 216-844-1504. |
