Volunteer Onboarding :: Volunteer Management - Onboarding

All Division of Extension volunteers must complete onboarding requirements prior to beginning their service as volunteers. These requirements are incorporated into the existing enrollment processes for programs such as Wisconsin 4-H, Master Gardeners, and StrongBodies. Extension staff working with volunteers outside of these programs should use the Volunteer Onboarding Checklist to ensure that all requirements are met. Contact Kim Nawyn, Volunteer Management Systems Specialist, at kim.nawyn@wisc.edu or (608) 262-5864 to discuss before starting this process.

Instructions

Checklist items #1-#6 must be completed for all Division of Extension volunteers. The sequence of completion for some of the items can vary.
Complete checklist item #7 only for volunteers who drive as part of their volunteer role(s).
