 Volunteering Dos and Don’ts:

Be and remain sober from any illegal substances during the duration of your shift

Dos:

• Do share your personal experiences if you are comfortable doing so
• Do render aid to the extent you deem it necessary and have the related expertise
• Do call 911 if you believe someone’s life is in danger, regardless of club policy
• Do cooperate with club owners and police and if any problem looks like it may involve legal issues, contact Elise immediately

Don’ts:     

• Do not have any illegal drugs or paraphernalia on your person, in your possession, or in your personal items during your shift
• Do not advocate illegal drug use or endorse a certain type of pill or drug and NEVER say a pill is "good"
• Do not give out medication of any kind, including aspirin
• Do not promise anyone we will work a booth at their party, refer them to Elise or Pika
• Do not give out advice: we are here to give info only!

Food:

• At some events, we will have healthy snacks by donation. These include:
• Fruit Leather
• Orange Juice
• Granola Bars
• Milk

These are available to anyone, but be sure to remind them that donations would be fantastic to help recover costs.

Important things to remember:

• Keep customer service in mind-don’t ignore the clients or spend too much time talking to your friends
• Don’t leave fellow volunteers alone at the booth for more than 10 minutes at a time
• Don’t offer to hold people’s bags or coats behind the table (they could contain drugs and we are not a coat check)
• If you don’t know the answer to a question, have them write down their question and email address so we can research the answer and get back to them
• Always wear your volunteer badge during your shift
