Volunteers
This page provides basic guidance on engaging volunteers, including the difference between short-term and ongoing roles. If you're considering bringing on volunteers, feel free to reach out to our HR team for support.
Short-term volunteers
Short Term volunteers would be those who are working for a particular event, fundraiser, or one day Project with your team. In this case Mission Edge may simply need the volunteer to fill out and sign an agreement/waiver. If required, Mission Edge may necessitate background checks be completed on volunteers, depending on the nature of the event and/or fundraiser.
Ongoing volunteers
An ongoing volunteer would be someone who is working with your Project, providing some form of administrative, programmatic, or operational support. Oftentimes Fiscally Sponsored Projects may recruit volunteers to help move your Project along and grow/scale efficiently. If you are interested in having a volunteer join your Project in an ongoing or long-term basis please reach out to Mission Edge to confirm eligibility and legality. Mission Edge must confirm that the details and requirements of the volunteer roll do not constitute employment and therefore create an issue with compliance.
