When you submit your application on Golden, you will receive an email confirmation right away that your application is processing. Background checks can take one to two weeks to complete, and we will notify you as soon as we have results so you can begin your onboarding process.

Some volunteer opportunities require you be 18 years or older. Please keep in mind if you are a volunteer under 18-years-old, a parent or guardian will need to fill out some required forms prior to volunteering. Please be sure to check the volunteer opportunity description for age requirements.

Qualified persons are welcome to submit an application to each volunteer opportunity that interests them. Check Golden for opportunities that match your availability - you will not be required to submit separate applications per opportunity.

Each volunteer opportunity has its own time commitment. In some cases, this may allow a volunteer to participate in more than one volunteer opportunity.

Each volunteer opportunity provides a description of what you should bring and wear. Some of our volunteer opportunities do include work that may get dirty, so be sure to wear appropriate clothing and shoes. This depends on the volunteer opportunity, but we encourage all people to bring a smile and a reusable water bottle. You will receive more specific information about what to bring from your Volunteer Supervisor.

Volunteer opportunities are dependent on weather. WellPower will send out a message via email prior to your volunteering session if conditions are not suitable for completing the volunteer activities planned. 

This depends on the volunteer opportunity. If you are volunteering for an event, please find the Volunteer Welcome Station to complete or submit the volunteer forms. For an individual volunteer opportunity, please request to see your Volunteer Supervisor. You will receive specific instructions about where to report from your Volunteer Supervisor.

Each volunteer opportunity has a different time requirement, with some asking for more volunteer time than others. Please check the descriptions on Golden to see which time commitment works best for your schedule.

Please inform your designated Volunteer Supervisor if your schedule should change or you wish to no longer volunteer in your position.

We encourage all volunteers to reference their time as a volunteer in their resume and on their LinkedIn page.
