REQUESTING VOLUNTEERS

Would you like to request a long-term volunteer to serve at your organization? The following six steps will guide your organization (within North American Division) through the process of creating a service request with the NAD Office of Volunteer Ministries. For questions, please contact our office.


1

REQUEST COORDINATOR ACCOUNT

If this is the first time your organization has requested a volunteer, you will need a coordinator's account created on the Mission Trip Connector (MTC) website. Signup and we will review your details before final account approval.

Within a few business days, you should receive the notification email prompting you to log in to your new account.

SCREEN VOLUNTEERS

Once your Service Request has been approved and posted on the MTC website, volunteer applicants will be screened and approved by our office before their applications are sent to you via the MTC system.

ACCEPT VOLUNTEERS

Once you have received a volunteer's application, you can review it and contact the volunteer for an interview if you wish. When your organization has made a decision, you may accept or deny the applicant using the MTC system.
