What is Rosterfy?

What’s involved in the interview process?
The interview is brief and is meant to be an opportunity to further elaborate on the information you submitted during the application process. We want to get to know you and make sure to place you in a role where you see your passion and purpose! This is also where we will ensure we can place you appropriately based on any specific accommodations or needs you may have. The interview will last approximately 15 minutes and will be set up online based on your availability. Options for those wishing to interview in person will be available as well.

We will encourage volunteers to read through all of our FAQs and information provided prior to the interview so you can come prepared for any further clarification needed.

 

What are the training module topics? 
Each volunteer will be required to complete training modules through our Volunteer Academy on various topics that will adequately prepare them to serve in their assigned role. Additionally, the topics covered in the modules will be knowledge the volunteer can use in their daily lives outside of The Games. 

Module Topics: Onboarding/Welcome to TWG, Mission & Values, Communication/Teamwork , Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Culture & Etiquette, Disability & Inclusion, Human Trafficking  & Safety Protocols (general plus specific to assignment), Team Training (specific to volunteer assignment)
