Users can access the online Volunteer Application form from the app picker screen or directly from the URL in your Volunteer Application preferences.

Volunteer Applications are a two-step process: First, the applicant will enter their personal information and select the facilities at which they would like to volunteer. Then they'll choose from a list of activities based on the Activities Management settings for the facility or facilities they've chosen.

Once an application has been submitted, operators with the appropriate authority can accept (or reject) the prospective applicant. This can also be done automatically, depending on your Volunteer Approval preferences. 

Select the language for which you want to continue viewing the application. Operator-generated content, such as facilities, activities, and availability, will display in the language in which they were written.

As part of your application, a background check will be run based on the information you provide. If you consent to this background check, choose the first option; if you deny consent, choose the bottom.

When all application information has been provided, click Submit . If you would like to disregard the application, you may close the browser window at any time.

When an application is submitted, KeepnTrack will acknowledge the submission and display a default confirmation message. Depending on your Notifications preferences, you can append the “application received” notice with additional information pertaining to the current status of the application (e.g. Received or Approved). For example:

• If your preferences aren't configured to perform automatic criminal background/sex offender checks or the volunteer was rejected, KeepnTrack will append the default confirmation with the Received notification text.

• If automatic checks are enabled and no red flags are raised (i.e. the volunteer passes the checks), KeepnTrack will append the default confirmation with the Approved notification text.
