On-Site Volunteer Program Working Plan & Obligations
YAB On-Site Adviser Program · Alpharetta, Georgia, USA
Companion document: This working plan applies alongside the signed Youth Volunteer Agreement — On-Site YAB Adviser, which governs conduct, confidentiality, and conflict-of-interest disclosure. Both must be reviewed by every on-site volunteer.
Georgia teenagers taking on real responsibility — planning activities, managing events, and being accountable for the progress of planned activities — well beyond what a typical high school volunteer opportunity offers.
We see this as a genuine civic-engagement and leadership-development pipeline for Northeast Georgia youth, built around the same model that built the organization itself: young people stepping up to lead, not just participate.
This document outlines what the role involves, what we expect of volunteers, and how volunteer hours are tracked and certified.
Part 1Role & Responsibilities
As an On-Site YAB Adviser, you will take ownership of one or more of the following areas, depending on assignment:
1Event planning & logistics — help plan and execute in-person events (e.g., the annual benefit concert), including venue coordination, day-of logistics, and volunteer/performer check-in.
2Marketing & social media — create or schedule content, manage outreach campaigns, and help grow the organization's local visibility.
3Fundraising support — assist with donor/sponsor outreach using approved templates, track pledges, and support fundraising campaigns.
4Community outreach — represent the organization at community events, schools, or civic group meetings, with adult oversight.
5Administrative support — help with volunteer coordination, correspondence, and general operations as assigned.
Part 2Time Commitment
One full semester (~12–16 weeks)
Project/event-based, not fixed weekly sessions
See assigned projects through to completion
Part 3Obligations
By participating, volunteers agree to:
1Follow through on assigned tasks and communicate proactively if something can't be completed on time.
2Make no unauthorized commitments on behalf of the organization (financial, contractual, or public statements) without prior approval.
3Maintain confidentiality regarding donor, financial, and organizational information.
4Disclose any conflict of interest — for example, a personal or family connection to a vendor, sponsor, or beneficiary.
5Represent the organization professionally at all times, especially in public-facing or community settings.
6Log hours accurately — certificates are issued based on logged, verified activity only.
Part 4Volunteer Hours Certification
1Hours are logged per project/event, verified by the supervising coordinator.
2Certificates are issued upon request or at the end of each semester, reflecting total verified hours.
3Certificates are signed by the Director and include the volunteer's name, total hours, program dates, and a brief description of responsibilities — suitable for school service-hour requirements, National Honor Society, scholarship applications, or resume use.
4School counselors or verifiers may contact risingwithmelodies@gmail.com to confirm any certificate's authenticity.
Part 5Standing & Removal
Volunteers who fail to follow through on commitments, violate the Code of Conduct, or make unauthorized commitments on the organization's behalf may have their certificate eligibility paused or their volunteer status ended, at the discretion of the Board.
Part 6Questions
Contact your coordinator or risingwithmelodies@gmail.com with any questions about assignments, hours, or certification.
