Welcome
to HSFC Volunteers.org!
Dogs,
cats, horses, rabbits and other small mammals to be cared for ... a
farm, an office and two thrift stores to be maintained ... fundraisers
and events to be staffed ... we have a volunteer activity of interest
for everyone!!
Interested
in Volunteering? Please browse
the site as it contains most of what you will need to know including
descriptions of activities and opportunities, and the necessary forms.
Please pay particular attention to items noted in RED.
This
site is primarily content-based by design -- the information included
throughout the site is important and we hope that with
fewer visual distractions, you will review the information in greater
detail.
Once
you have reviewed the site and determined that HSFC is where you would
like to volunteer, please visit the Forms page
and download the appropriate application. Upon receipt of your completed
and signed application and agreement, the documents will be processed
and you will receive a welcome packet via email. The packet will include
instructions on how to schedule your orientation and begin volunteering.
NOTE: Submitting your application and agreement is the required
first step on the path to volunteering. Special
circumstances are listed below - please review prior to submitting your
application.
Underage
volunteers must
be accompanied by a parent or guardian during all service hours.
Minimum age of 15 for student volunteers - suggested
activities for youth volunteers under age 15 can be found on our Kids'
page.
Court
Ordered Community Service workers: We
do not process court-ordered CS workers via our regular application.
If you have hours to be completed and wish to know whether you can
support HSFC, please contact our main office at 703-385-7387 and advise
your requirements. If we have work available that is suitable, the
manager will direct you as appropriate.
***
Students Aged 15 - 17: IF YOU ARE VOLUNTEERING
BECAUSE YOU NEED COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS FOR SCHOOL, WE MUST KNOW
THIS IN ADVANCE.
Current
Volunteers:
We communicate with our volunteer base primarily by email. If you are
actively volunteering but ARE NOT receiving emails from HSFC periodically,
chances are good your email address has rejected and since been deleted
from our system. If you have changed providers or email accounts, please
let us know. FYI
-- If you unsubscribe from the list, we have NO WAY to ensure you are
receiving our communications.
HSFC
recognizes that our strength and ability to continue serving the community
successfully lies in our volunteer corps. Please know that we are immensely
grateful to each and every volunteer for whatever time or talent you
are able to offer to us so that we can continue our mission. We humbly
thank you for choosing HSFC as the organization to which you give of
yourself.
