Each new volunteer should also receive an orientation to the organization by the Head Coach or Community Registrar. This orientation would cover a brief overview of how the local community council works, who is on the local council, an introduction to the other volunteers in the program the volunteer will be helping with along with an outline of all risk management plans and a clear outline of what the volunteer’s role will be in the program. SOO has provided all local councils with a copy of an orientation PowerPoint that can be modified and adapted for use in your community. All SOO provided resources can be found in your communities Google Drive. <\/span>
