Dear Volunteer Supervisor,
The Triangle Nonprofit & Volunteer Leadership Center (TNVLC) coordinates 3 annual award programs for volunteers ages 12-18 who register on our website: www.thevolunteercenter.org
Mayor’s Award: 40 or more volunteer hours during 2024 summer break
Commissioners’ Award: 40 or more volunteer hours during the 2023-2024 academic year
President’s Volunteer Service Award: Students need to volunteer the number of hours required to meet the age specific eligibility levels to earn either a bronze, silver, or gold award during 12 consecutive months or a lifetime achievement award.
These awards are an important way to recognize and honor the young people who faithfully serve your organization and our community. These awards also give student volunteers an important goal for their volunteer service, inspiring consistency and dedication. Recognizing a student’s service through these prestigious awards opens up opportunities for college scholarships and can be included on a student’s resume. In order to receive these awards student volunteers must earn positive evaluations (average or above) from supervisor(s). A negative evaluation nullifies credit hours toward the award.
Eligibility for these awards is based upon the volunteer's initiative; however, you can assist your young volunteer(s) by remembering the following:
Time Sheet: Tracking volunteer hours on a time sheet is the volunteer's responsibility. He/she/they will ask you to verify the hours recorded by initialing their time sheet daily. The time sheet is not to be submitted to TNVLC, it is to help you as a supervisor to verify and enter the total number of hours and the duration when those hours were accrued when you complete this evaluation form. Evaluation: If for any reason you do not believe that the volunteer will meet the performance criteria (hours, attitude, quality of work, etc.) necessary for a positive evaluation, please discuss the problem with the volunteer and seek a solution early in the process. If you do not see the improvements necessary to receive a rating of at least “Average” please contact betty@tnvlc.onmicrosoft.com as soon as possible. Any rating below “Average” will prevent the hours served at your organization from being counted toward the student’s award.
Deadlines and Submission: The Volunteer Evaluation Form must be completed by the volunteer’s supervisor. We appreciate your thoughtful and honest remarks regarding your volunteer’s performance. If an item on the form is not applicable, please indicate as such. Applications, including evaluations, are due no later than OCTOBER 13, 2024.
Please complete the evaluation in a timely fashion so the volunteer can meet the deadline.
Thank you for investing in our future by providing a valuable experience for our students. Please contact betty@tnvlc.onmicrosoft.com if you have any questions.
