How We Choose Volunteers

Our volunteer screening process at The Learning Hustle is thorough and rigorous, ensuring that we bring dedicated and qualified individuals to our team. Here's an overview of our screening process:


1. **Application Submission:** Prospective volunteers start by submitting an online application. This application captures their basic information, interests, and the specific role they're interested in.


2. **Initial Review:** Our team reviews each application to assess the applicant's alignment with our mission, their skills, and their availability.


3. **Interview:** Shortlisted candidates are invited to an interview, either in person or virtually. This interview helps us understand their motivations, experiences, and how well they would fit within our organization.


4. **Reference Checks:** We conduct reference checks to validate the applicant's character and qualifications. This step ensures that our volunteers uphold our values.


5. **Background Check:** Depending on the role and responsibilities, we may require a background check to ensure the safety of our students and maintain a secure environment.


6. **Orientation and Training:** Once approved, volunteers participate in an orientation session to learn about our organization's mission, policies, and the role they'll play. Training is provided to equip them with the necessary skills.


7. **Matching Process:** For tutoring roles, volunteers are matched with students based on subject expertise and compatibility. This personalized approach ensures effective mentorship.


8. **Ongoing Support:** Throughout their volunteering journey, we provide ongoing support, feedback, and resources to help volunteers succeed.


At The Learning Hustle, our comprehensive screening process ensures that our volunteers are not only passionate about our cause but also capable of making a positive and lasting impact on the lives of the students we serve.
