Orientation is part of the welcome for a volunteer.
It shows volunteers where they fit in to the organization and gives them practical information they will need to function effectively. Information about the mission and mandate of the organization and a description of the programs and services. How did it evolve to where it is now. This kind of information fosters a clear connection with the mission and helps volunteers represent the organization to others. In short, the basic everyday things new volunteers will need to know to do their jobs.
