Volunteers will help the NPADC maintain a membership database and update as needed for accuracy and noting expired memberships. Additionally, volunteers will help with tasks for membership engagement like affixing labels to postcards and mailers or creating lists of potential members from internet research. Volunteers will help create and maintain a directory of nurse practitioner owned business. Other tasks may be assigned as opportunities arise such as prepping email messages. Volunteers will not be expected to correspond with members of the NPADC.
FOR STUDENTS EARNING SSL HOURS
The supervisor will maintain a log of completed service hours. For in person and live virtual activities, one hour of involvement in the activity will be awarded one hour for SSL hours. For project based or remote activities such as database management, 20 rows of work will be awarded 1 SSL hour. For mailers and flyers, 30 completed items will be awarded 1 SSL hour. Digital work (such as database management) will be reviewed weekly. Physical work (such as mailers) will be reviewed upon completion of the project. The supervisor will be available to answer questions by phone or email.
FOR VIRTUAL ACTIVITIES
For students under the age of 18 years old and participating in virtual activities, a parent/guardian must provide the nonprofit with written approval of the student’s participation before the activity. A standard permission slip will be emailed to the student to be signed by the parent or guardian.
Students must use personal/private accounts (not MCPS student accounts) to engage in the virtual platform. Students’ email addresses/home addresses or any personally identifying information will remain protected and not shared.
Students will only engage with others under the direct supervision of a nonprofit supervisor. The nonprofit supervisor will be directly present in the virtual space (including any breakout sessions) at all times. The nonprofit supervisor will initiate and host all virtual sessions. If the nonprofit supervisor is not available to initiate and host the virtual session, the session will not occur. Virtual sessions will not be recorded. Students should not share or upload any videos, pictures, or images of themselves, unless the nonprofit organization has obtained a signed form/waiver from the student’s parent/guardian authorizing permission/release.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety and privacy at any time the student is interacting with the nonprofit and its clients. The nonprofit organization will determine the number of SSL hours awarded based on the evidence submitted. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns. This service activity is designed to be completed within the safety of the student’s home.
