Court-Ordered Volunteering

The Road Home will accommodate court-ordered volunteer hours on a case by case basis. A few policies to keep in mind that may prevent you from completing or continuing your service hours:

-If you regularly cancel shifts you may no longer be able to volunteer.
-If you no call/no show you may no longer be able to volunteer.
-A Volunteer Coordinator must supervise and sign off on hours.
-You need to schedule during approved times.
-Masks are required regardless of vaccination status. If you do not have a mask or are not wearing your mask properly, you may be asked to leave.
-For everyone’s health and safety we ask that you cancel your shift if you are sick. Volunteers who are visibly unwell will be asked to leave.
-Available volunteer opportunities will be dependent on current needs and Volunteer Coordinator Schedules. Make sure you are signing up to volunteer during approved shifts, otherwise, your hours will not count.
-If you miss 2 or more shifts without providing notice prior to the shifts, your approval may be revoked. If you need to cancel a shift at the last minute due to illness or an emergency, it is best to send an email so that there is written documentation.
