Get Connected Tech Tip: Qualifications! Why are they Important?
If you have responded to one of our long-term and short-term volunteer
opportunities, you have completed a series of qualifications. Qualifications are requirements set
up to be completed in the Get Connected site before you can complete a response
to a volunteer opportunity and sign up. All
of our long-term and most short-term volunteer volunteer opportunities require a
complete volunteer profile with your name, a current photo, mailing
address, phone number, email, birth date, and your emergency contact
information, and a signed volunteer handbook.
Additionally, these
opportunities require an eligible background check with our partner
Sterling Volunteers. These opportunities are designated by the ST next to the
opportunity title. Some volunteer
opportunities, public volunteer opportunities, do not require these
qualifications. 
Some volunteer opportunities require additional training
and/or an annual check off of skills. To view
the qualifications for each volunteer opportunity, simply scroll down to the
Qualifications section in the opportunity listing under Shifts and before
Additional Details.
Most training and annual check off qualifications will
expire after a year or with each new calendar year. 
To view your completed
qualifications, go to your volunteer account menu (next to your photo or
initials) and click "Qualifications". Scroll down to the bottom of
this list to see the qualifications you have completed, view expiration dates,
and more.
If you have questions about qualifications, reach out to
your Volunteer Services team for assistance at volunteer.services@metroparks.org or call #937-275-7275 and ask to speak with a Volunteer
Coordinator.
