Becoming a NHEG Volunteer

General Volunteer Application

Every volunteer must complete a formal application. This will allow the staff at NHEG to get an understanding of your abilities related to the position for which you are applying.

Interview and Orientation

A screening and/or short interview with the an HR Coordinator will be arranged to determine who you are, what you want to contribute to our organization and make sure that a placement meets the needs of everyone involved. It also allows us to provide you with more knowledge of who we are and what services we provide. Through this onboarding process, the candidate will familiarize himself or herself with the organization, programs, services, our mission, vision and goals as well as meet our staff and learn the role he or she will play.

Training

For on-site volunteer opportunities, a brief training will be provided on your first day. If volunteers are working remotely, training of tools, software, and programs that NHEG utilizes will be provided online.

Volunteer Survey

In order for our organization to have a successful volunteer program, we need input from volunteers on how to continue creating a fun, positive environment for those who dedicate and give their time. We value our volunteers’ feedback in providing excellence to our organization. Therefore, we ask at the completion of their time here at NHEG, for volunteers to complete and submit an exit survey.

NHEG Volunteer Expectations & Policies

We are in need of volunteers, online tutors, and teachers. Teachers or Tutors in core subjects are required to donate 3 hours a week per student for at least 9 months.

If you are experiencing difficulties during or as a result of your assignment, please contact NHEG to work out a solution. Team members are hired as temporary volunteers on an as-needed basis and are not considered permanent employees of the New Heights Educational Group, Inc. Resource and Literacy Center. However, you are a valued member of our team, and we want you to have a positive experience while you are with us.
