Notes for potential volunteers:
— Any task that involves working with the students at an event will require a Criminal Record Check from the RCMP.
This will need to be submitted to the event coordinator before the event, so please allow sufficient time.
— In order to respect the privacy and confidentiality of the Prom Closet clients, we ask that all volunteers have already graduated themselves and do not have siblings or children who are graduating this year. This allows for greater security of information and peace-of-mind for the Prom Closet clients.
