  2. A school volunteer coordinator is designated for recruitment, placement, training and supervision of school volunteers.

  1. The school must have a school volunteer coordinator who provides coordination of the program, placement of students, orientation/training for the staff, student/program evaluation and student volunteer supervision.
  2. The school must have a volunteer coordinator who provides coordination of the program, placement of the secondary students, orientation/training for the receiving staff, student/program evaluation, and student volunteer supervision.
  3. Student volunteers and faculty must both receive orientation and training.
