V OLUNTEER T ASK L IST

When assigning tasks to volunteers, consider the expertise and comfort level the volunteer has with the
various roles you may need to fill that day. Just having volunteers present at the event is powerful,
demonstrating to the students that members of the community see education as an important goal. Below
are some ideas for tasks that may be assigned to the volunteers at your organization.

 Learn the proper logon procedures at this location, preferably before students begin to arrive.
 Greet students as they arrive at the computer lab (or location of the event). Direct each student to
the sign-in sheet.
 Help students locate the appropriate websites and begin their applications.
 Move around the room and help guide students through the applications, answering any questions
the students may have. Use the college website pages and the information about registration fees
and waivers provided in the Volunteer Packet for reference.
 Monitor printers to ensure that any applications or confirmation pages that need to be printed
remain in order and get to the appropriate students. Replenish the paper supply if needed.
 Talk with students and share personal college experiences. Answer questions students may have
about college life in general.
 Give each student who completes an application an “I Applied” sticker and a “What’s Next?”
handout.
 Congratulate students on applying to college and remind them to share their experience with
others!

Finally, remember to thank your volunteers for their time and support. Follow up with a thank you note or
letter and encourage them to stay involved with your organization or to participate in the event next year.
