To serve as a group, at least one individual must register on the website as a volunteer and complete a background screening. This individual will be the lead volunteer and is agreeing to be responsible for managing the project, ensuring project safety, and for collecting and submitting signed waivers from each person participating in the project prior to serving on a project. Waivers should be scanned and emailed to volunteer@community1.org or dropped off at the Community One office prior to serving on a project.
Minors under the age of 18 may participate in age-appropriate projects by serving with a registered volunteer over the age of 18 who is responsible for their safety. Minors must provide a volunteer waiver signed by themselves and a legal guardian before serving on a project. Waivers should be scanned and emailed to volunteer@community1.org or dropped off at the Community One office prior to serving on a project.
