Volunteers are expected to regularly check Slack and assigned action items, check in with their team to understand current progress and priorities, complete tasks on time, track progress, and accurately log volunteer hours.
When working on resource content, volunteers should use official, public sources, avoid unsupported claims or assumptions, respect confidentiality and privacy, and submit work for review before publication.

Successful volunteer candidates may be required to complete a criminal background check and onboarding steps before beginning their role, depending on the nature of the volunteer position.
