Did you know!? Volunteers are a tremendous resource to DAC. DAC would not be able to conduct our program, raise funds or serve clients without our volunteers. DAC has the ability to serve over 8,000 clients a year because of you. You help DAC provide solutions to local community problems.

Did you know!? Your skill-sets, regardless if you know sign language or not, are an asset to DAC. It’s your ability to share our stories due to language barriers and differences. It’s your compassion to keep DAC in the forefront to help promote equality and opportunities for deaf and hard of hearing individuals. DAC has over 23 volunteers in our “antiquated” system. We need more! But how?

If you are not in the system, we might ask you to sign up. If you are in the system, you can always refer others to sign up. Start by going to the DAC website.

Roll your cursor over “About” and click on “Volunteer”.

You will see information regarding volunteering at DAC. On the bottom right, click on the “Sign Up!” button.

You will receive an email thanking you for signing up. The volunteer coordinator will also get a similar email about your signing up. You will receive another email from the volunteer coordinator with required documentation to be filled out. Once everything has been reviewed, process, and you are approved, you will get a follow up call or email from the volunteer coordinator.

You will later get an email from the volunteer coordinator with a link to your dashboard (profile).

Now, you can see your profile. You can click on “Edit” button to edit your profile for your skills or availability if needed. On the bottom, you will see “Scheduled Volunteer Shifts” and “Your Recent Volunteer History”. Both are empty as this person is new.

This is the page for volunteer jobs. If there is a job that’s active but with no scheduled shifts, you will see a “Sign Up” button.

If there is a job that’s active but with scheduled shifts, you will see a “Sign Up” link.

If there is a job that’s active but all scheduled shifts are full, you will see “Full”.

This is the calendar of scheduled shifts available. Clicking on any of the shifts will take you to the job page with a link for signing up or a “Full” status.

This is the “Report Hours” page where you can report your hours. If you select a job that has no scheduled shifts, you will get a custom hours page. If you select a job that has scheduled shifts, you will get a pre-assigned hours page.

If you have signed up for any shifts or if you have reported your hours, your profile will show those shifts and/or hours.
