New ASPIRE Volunteer Training Process, Toolkit and Calendar
We’re excited to now
offer the Volunteer Training in three video segments so you can either
conduct volunteer trainings at your site or simply have new volunteers
view the training videos at home. Each of these
short videos has a very basic quiz following the presentation that
volunteers will need to complete, and the Coordinator Toolkit now
contains a spreadsheet that will automatically update with the name of
your volunteers after they have completed the videos
and quizzes. Please see more below and don’t hesitate tocontact me
with any questions that you may have

Volunteer Training Updates:
We have replaced our
onboarding process for training new high school ASPIRE volunteers! Our
hope is that this will make the process easier and faster for both you
and your volunteers.
Here is the new process:
1.
Ensure that your volunteers have completed their volunteer applications and background checks (same as before):
https://sites.google.com/a/asp2. Ensure your volunteers watch the three mandatory training videos and take the quizzes for each video (which are links at the end of each video). The videos are available in both the Coordinator and Volunteer Toolkits, or you can email the link directly to your volunteers if they would like to do the trainings at home. You can find the Volunteer Training videos here in the Volunteer Toolkit: https://sites.google.com/a/asp
3. You will now be able to confirm that your volunteers have completed their training by viewing the “Volunteer Trainings – Record of Participants” spreadsheet found in the Coordinator Toolkit under “Training New Volunteers”. There is a tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet for each of the three video trainings.:
4. Suggested activity for coordinators and veteran volunteers – watch the new videos and take the quizzes to become familiar with them! J
Volunteer Toolkit:
The ASPIRE Volunteer
Toolkit has been updated to make it easier for our volunteers to find
what they are looking for when working with students. Please share the
link to the toolkit with your volunteers, encourage
them to use it, and contact us with suggested improvements:
https://sites.google.com/a/asp
Volunteer Calendar:
The hard copy of the
old ASPIRE Volunteer Handbooks have been reduced to just the calendar
section (the Volunteer Calendar – which was sent to you). All the web
resources and information that were listed in the
old Volunteer Handbook is now in our newly remodeled Volunteer Toolkit:
