Project Coordinators must notify the appropriate Project Chair/Co-Chairs of any entries by volunteers onto City or NCC properties who will be participating in any project related activity work.

This can be done with quick email or text on the day of, no response back is required, this is for only notification and awareness purposes. Primarily for the Project Chair/Co-Chairs awareness as to whats going on in case they are contacted directly by the property owner

Project Coordinator delegates

The above procedures would also apply if the Project Coordinator delegates their role to one or more volunteer team members when they can’t be present at a work site

i.e. when a delegated volunteer team member is entering and working on the property without the Project Coordinator being present, but with their prior approval

Project Reporting

As part of project reporting and tracking of volunteer work effort, please provide if possible before and after pictures of the project work site, with location details, brief description of work and the estimated volunteer time. Please pass this information on to the Project Coordinator.
