Ready to start?
There is a 5 part process to becoming an IRC volunteer:
- RSVP to and attend an information session: https://signup.com/go/NSUTvuN
- Review the volunteer roles (attached or online: https://www.rescue.org/volunteer-opportunities/abilene-tx) and note your top three
- Submission of the application : https://rescueglobal.secure.force.com/volunteer/
- Completing 2 reference checks and a background check
- Complete onboarding training and paperwork
We do ask that all volunteers go through a background check, as you can well imagine, as our refugee population is very vulnerable. Generally, we request a $45 contribution to help offset the total cost of the background check. Volunteers must be 18 years-old or older.
