Welcome, Welcome!
We are stoked that you’ve come to this page! The process for signing up to volunteer with us begins with filling out a new volunteer registration form and creating an account on Better Impact: our volunteer management platform that many of you may already be familiar with from other volunteer organizations.
Once you create an account and provide some basic info, you will be able to sign into our Better Impact environment as a new volunteer. Allowing you to download and read several PDF documents describing how we operate, rules and processes, what to expect and so on. You will also be able to select any upcoming orientation spot on the opportunity calendar (currently accommodating up to 2-3 orientation spots per night on every Wednesday and Friday evening.
Orientation spots are generally available on most Wednesday and Friday evenings at 830PM at the same time that the rest of the cohort arrive and begin patrol prep which takes about an hour. With prep and orientations completing at about the same time the cohort is split-up into teams of of 4-5 volunteers, balancing medics to outreach, gender, age and experience with the community … we hit the streets until late. At the end of the night we regroup at the office, put everything away and spend about 10-15 minutes debriefing or completing patient care reports as necessary. By the time we’re done it’s typically between 1230 and 100am.
After your orientation and first patrol night, you will be added to our group chat which we use to coordinate our operations, and your account on better impact will change from prospective volunteer to active volunteer unlocking your access to sign up for all future patrols and events with which we are engaged.
