The life cycle of an application looks something like this:»

Submit an Application (each Branch has it's own application)» Completed application is referred to a volunteer supervisor by email (PDF attachment). Volunteer supervisor contacts volunteer to setup an interview.  After  processing, applicants are contacted for an orientation.  During the scheduled orientation, the volunteer coordinator discusses policies and procedures.  Volunteer service begins where volunteer will receive first day training and site orientation. As you see, the application process can be somewhat lengthy, but it is an effort to provide the volunteer with the best opportunity possible in the most professional way possible.

Orientation The orientation introduces a new volunteer to the mission and vision of Leon County's Volunteer Services. In addition, the volunteer coordinator explains critical policies and procedures that dictate the LeRoy Collins Public Library System's volunteer program.
