Family Participation
 |
Part of what makes Amigos a success is family participation. While the program requires a significant amount of responsibility from the volunteers parents need to play a role in the following aspects. |
| Fund Raising | Assist in the Letter Writing Campaign. |
| Medical | Oversee all the medical requirements, making necessary appointments with your family doctor, helping the volunteer keep track of the immunizations, and making sure the documentation is turned in on time. |
| Passport Acquisition | Make sure the Passport Application is made as soon as possible if the volunteer does not already possess a passport. |
| Training | Ensure volunteers attend all training meetings. See Chapter Schedule for details. |
| Maintaining Organization Standards | Understanding the standards of personal conduct and community behavior and discuss them thoroughly with your volunteer. Zero tolerance really does mean zero tolerance in this program. Please be certain that you have read in full the Rules of Participation that were signed at the time of admission to the program. |
| Event Attendance | The Potluck Dinner, the Final Briefing before volunteers depart and the Welcome Home/Appreciation Dinner are all important events in the life of the organization. |
| Service Projects | Helping with the Sheldon Lake State Park Project is both fun and necessary. It is an important milestone in volunteer participation. It cannot work without parents to assist with the many tasks. |
| Enjoyment | Have fun and find personal satisfaction in watching your volunteer grow and learn! |
