- All volunteers must attend an orientation for new volunteers in order to sign up for New York Cares' monthly Calendar Projects.
- New York Cares asks volunteers to comply with the following Project sign-up procedures:
- Volunteers must sign up for Projects using New York Cares' Web site, or by contacting the Team Leader in advance of the scheduled Project.
- Volunteers cannot bring guests on a Project unless the Team Leader has given prior approval and the additional volunteer has already attended a New York Cares orientation.
- Volunteers need to perform the activities as they are described in the calendar or Web site and as instructed by the Team Leader.
- If volunteers need to cancel their participation in a scheduled project, they must de-register using the link under My Projects or contact the Team Leader. Failure to properly de-register three or more times in six months may result in account deactivation.
- Volunteers should arrive on time for the Project and stay for the duration of the Project, including any time necessary for clean-up. Volunteers must promptly leave the site at the conclusion of the Project.
