Recruitment Process

How to Become a Volunteer

Follow our step-by-step process to join our team as an active volunteer:

• Apply Easily: Submit your application via volunteering.emgprd.org/jobs or via Idealist.
  Apply via Idealist
• Document Review: We review your submitted documents to evaluate your profile and skills.
• Sign Your Volunteer Agreement: You sign your agreement to confirm your intent to volunteer.
  Important: Your signature confirms your intent to volunteer with emgprd.org. However, the agreement only becomes fully valid once our leadership countersigns — which happens after you demonstrate your engagement in the next step.
• Access Leantime & Slack (#show-your-engagement): Once signed, you get immediate access to Leantime, our task management platform. Joining our Slack community is mandatory:
  👉 Join Slack Workspace

  Your first stop in Leantime is the #show-your-engagement channel, where you will find an intro video and your first tasks. Complete them well, and our leadership team will evaluate your performance and countersign your agreement — officially welcoming you as a Community Member.

• Full Onboarding & Workspace Setup: With your fully signed agreement in place, you receive your official Google Workspace account with your personal email address:
  firstname.lastname@communitymember.emgprd.org
• Task Execution & Documentation: You are assigned specific tasks for your department, which you work on, document, and track directly inside our software.
• Weekly Coffee Talk: Once a week, we hold a 30-to-60-minute "Coffee Talk" to get to know each other, share updates, and connect as a team!
