Brief Excerpt

You might even consider having the volunteers mark their handbooks, with a yellow pen, just like you marked yours. This will let you point out all the items that you are not covering. We have included a form that acknowledges that they have received their handbook and that they agree to read it. Make this page a tear-out of your handbook, because you will want to collect it and place it in their volunteer file. This paper, with their signature and date, will be your insurance that they did in fact go home with a handbook, that they agreed to read it, and that before they start volunteering they have all the policies and rules to keep them safe.
