Policy Policies
This letter contains important information for Village Project Student Volunteers. Please read the information carefully.
There are many student cooks serving in the VP kitchen so scheduling can be challenging. We strive to communicate schedules clearly and consistently by:
-
Having students schedule themselves in Better Impact and committing to coming in for their scheduled shifts.
- Inviting students and parents to access Better Impact to view students’ schedules.
-
Please remember to regularly update your availability and frequency in Better Impact.
A fully staffed kitchen is vital as we strive to uphold our commitment to provide delicious and nourishing meals to our clients in a timely manner. We ask students to help by doing the following:
-
Be on time – come to the kitchen immediately after school.
-
If you are not able to work as scheduled, please remove yourself from the schedule and email or call the VP office so we can find additional help in the kitchen.
-
If you are ill, please do not come to the kitchen. Let us know as soon as possible so we can find a sub.
Your attendance as scheduled is key as we strive to come together as a community of all ages to provide nourishing meals and extended care and service to our neighbors experiencing cancer.
Absence: If you can not attend as scheduled please remove yourself from the schedule and call us at 440.348.9401 as soon as possible to report your absence. Not following this procedure or repeated absence will result in removal from future schedules.
Kitchen Volunteers: The following are musts when working in the kitchen:
- Closed toed shoes
- Long hair pulled back securely
- Hair covered with hair net, bandana, or cap
- No cell phones in the kitchen
- Hands washed thoroughly when entering or re-entering the kitchen
- Do not volunteer if you are ill
