How it works

Interview

Once you sign up for the ORU Volunteer Initiative Program, please allow up to one week for Conference & Event Services to get in contact with you. Upon application approval, you will be invited to an interview with the Director of Volunteer Programs.

Training

After being accepted into the Volunteer Initiative Program, you will be trained according to university Policy and VIP Rules & Regulations and given the necessary information and procedures for your chosen area of interest. This is not a rigorous process, but merely a way to ensure that the university is adequately represented by its volunteers.

However, during special campaigns and/or leading up to specific recruitment events, Global Recruitment Ambassadors may be asked to take part in specific recruitment strategies to bolster the university’s efforts.

Structure

The team structure of VIP is largely cooperative, with the majority of Ambassadors working together under a team leader. Team leaders are Ambassadors as well and are selected on the basis of exemplary service and longevity in the program. All team leaders will report to Conference and Event Services Director of Volunteer Programs.
