Annual Volunteer Orientation: New for the upcoming school year, all Youth Council members must complete the Annual Volunteer Orientation (AVO) before they can volunteer or sign up for any Youth Council program. AVO is a qualification that permits or prohibits volunteers from signing up for events. It is designed to make sure you are fully informed about the Youth Council’s policies and procedures. You can complete the AVO training by logging into your account, clicking the “My Profile, Schedule, Hours, etc.” tab, then clicking on “My Orientations/Trainings.” After you have successfully completed the training and paid your membership dues, you will be able to sign up for events on the Volunteer Matrix calendar.
