Volunteer

YOU MUST BE 18 YEARS OLD or OLDER TO VOLUNTEER 

All new cGaming volunteers are required to complete online training, followed by in-centre volunteer orientation [shadow training]. Online training consists of a combination of form entries and training videos.

Once the volunteer completes the online module, they will receive an email [to the email address they entered into the module] indicating they have completed the online portion. An email is automatically sent to the Charity Coordinator at the location the volunteer selected. It is the responsibility of the trainee to notify their charitable organization that they have completed the online training.

The next step of shadow training can be done by an experienced volunteer from the trainee’s organization within 60 days. IF that is not possible, please contact the Charity Coordinator.

ARE YOU IN DRESS CODE?
To provide a professional look for volunteers in our modern gaming facilities a consistent dress code is required. It is important that the volunteers be easily recognized and associated with the charity they are representing. Shirts or vests with charity identification (logos/names) are required for easy recognition of the charities participating. (charity identification should never be covered, kept easily seen by customers)

Minimum dress code requirements
Pants Acceptable Conservative, dark pants or skirts; Not Acceptable Denim blue jeans, track pants, stretch pants, shorts
Shirt Acceptable Collared shirt with charity logo (same colour for all volunteers preferred); or vest with charity logo and collared shirt underneath (all same colour preferred) Not Acceptable Tank tops, t-shirts, sleeveless shirts, scarves, sweaters, jackets, or anything that covers up the charity shirt or logo
Nametag First name of volunteer. Acceptable nametags include embroidery on shirt, pin, lanyard, or sticker. (we try to have stickers for nametags if you have forgot or were never given a nametag, located in right side cupboard)
Hats Only if specifically related to the charity identification (e.g., Shriner’s Fez, Boy Scouts) or related to religious or health reasons (e.g. cancer treatments) Any other hat. Baseball caps specifically are not permitted as they distract from a professional look.
Footwear must be business casual, tasteful and appropriate to the role of the volunteer. Safety should be considered.
