We have a set of criteria to determine whether a volunteer receives a certificate. Obviously, behaving in an appropriate manner is top of the list. But also, volunteers who leave early must complete a certain amount of their programme to receive a certificate:
- 1-3 week programme: volunteers must complete the entire programme to receive a certificate (with no work days taken off*)
- 4-12 week programme: volunteer must complete a minimum of 3 weeks to receive a certificate
The volunteer programme runs from the Monday start date to the Saturday afternoon of the final week. Saturday afternoon to Monday evening is volunteer freetime. At all other times, the volunteer should be either working, or onsite at the foundation.
*Days may be deducted when volunteers are unavailable for work or absent without prior consent.
