Set up jobs that can be done off campus and in the evening along with daytime jobs so that all parents can be a part of your schools volunteering experience. Attaching mailing labels, making phone calls, evening theatre department assistance, evening sporting event ticket taking or concessions are just a few volunteer jobs that can be filled by parents who are working 8-5 and can not leave during those hours. All volunteers should wear volunteer nametags while on campus. You may want to make the nametags brightly colored so they stand out from the regular visitor nametags. This enables students and staff to know what their mission is on campus.
Some schools use large buttons, some use the plastic rectangular pin on tags with the slide in card.
Let us know your creative volunteer nametag designs so we can post them here. Start with school registration and have a volunteer sign up area. Just take names and phone numbers at this time. At this time get their address and send out the form for background checks. Follow up with a call if you do not receive the form back in one week.
