Volunteer Requirements
Individuals interested in donating their
time to the City must complete and sign a Volunteer Application Form. The
recommended minimum commitment is usually four hours per week and can be
flexible depending on the circumstances (i.e. winter visitor, student). The
maximum commitment is 40 hours per week.
The volunteer who has completed and signed a Volunteer Application and has a
Volunteer Job Description on file with Personnel is covered by the City Worker’s
Compensation program as per City Resolution No. 6491. If injured on the job, the
basis for computing compensation is outlined under A.R.S. § 23-901.06. The
department also may wish to utilize a Volunteer Agreement.
Depending on the nature of the assignment (i.e. handling money, security
issues), the department will determine the need to complete a background check.
This process may include fingerprinting.
