Get Connected Tech Tip: Know BEFORE You Go!Big volunteer events like The Wagner Subaru Outdoor Experience and Make A Difference Day are right around the corner! We want to make sure you feel prepared and confident heading into your shift. With just a few quick checks in your Get Connected account (and your inbox), you'll be set for success. Here's what to do before you head out: Check your inbox - Sometimes staff may reach out ahead of your shift with important updates, such as changes to meeting locations or cancellations. If there are any updates about park alerts or closures, you can also visit metroparks.org/alerts. In the event a volunteer opportunity is canceled, a staff member will notify you. Know how to check in - For scheduled opportunities, you'll receive a Check-In email the morning of your shift. Follow the instructions to check in with your start time - this is how your volunteer hours get logged! Review your opportunity page - Log in to Get Connected and open the shift you sign up for. You'll find all your opportunities in the Opportunity Responses section of your profile, located in the drop-down menu (upper right corner).
In the "Additional Notes" section of the opportunity, you'll find important info like: - Where to meet staff - How to contact them if needed - What to expect (physical and environmental demands) - What to wear and bring
Check the weather & pack smart - Most opportunities proceed rain or shine, so be ready for the conditions of the day. Bring along layers, rain gear, sunscreen, bug spray, and a full water bottle so you'll be comfortable no matter what the forecast looks like. Want a step-by-step walkthrough? Watch our What to Know Before You go video here. By taking a few minutes to double-check these details in Get Connected, you'll help your day run smoothly and make the most of your volunteer experience.
