Next Steps
Respite volunteers work directly with children and, therefore, must follow a specific procedure for approval before they can begin volunteering with us. Here’s everything you need to know.
Step 1: New affiliation inquiries need to submit an inquiry via our online form.
Step 2: School Coordinators should contact Anchor Center’s Volunteer Program Manager to coordinate and confirm needs and placement availability. Once confirmed, a student roster should be provided to Volunteer Program Manager.
Step 3: Once scheduling and placements are confirmed, all expected attending nursing students and supervisors must submit our online Nursing Student Authorization, Waiver and Release & Confidentiality Form before attending orientation on event dates.
Step 4: You will be required to attend an orientation in advance of your first volunteer opportunity. Orientations usually occur about two hours before the start of respite.
