Volunteer process
Review our current available volunteer positions.
Plan to attend a Volunteer Information Session to learn more about the IRC SLC. Please email [email protected] with any questions.
After you’ve attended a volunteer information session, we’ll send you a volunteer application to complete.
The volunteer coordinator will contact you regarding potential volunteer opportunities as they become available and may schedule a phone or in-person interview. Please note that due to increased interest from passionate community members like yourself, do expect a wait of 3-6 months to get placed with a specific volunteer position.
You're ready to get started! Depending on your role, you'll either receive further training from your in-office department or wait to be matched with a family to tutor and/or mentor.
Track your volunteer hours and remember to submit them monthly to the volunteer coordinator.
