Becoming a Consistent Volunteer With MLS GO Powered By DCFC

Volunteers who will work regularly with MLS GO participants must complete the following steps before beginning their role. If you have any questions about these steps, please reach out to us at info@opengoalproject.org.

Step 2: Complete Fingerprinting Check

Adults who are volunteering consistently with youth must complete an additional background check that requires making an appointment for fingerprinting before starting.

Once your role is confirmed, Open Goal Project will follow up with the steps and instructions for fingerprinting through our government grant partners.

Step 3: Receive Your Assignment

After completing all requirements that apply to your role, an Open Goal Project staff member will confirm your volunteer assignment, schedule, arrival instructions, and primary staff contact.

On your first day and at each session going forward, you’ll report to our staff member who is your point of contact at the field to discuss and your responsibilities for the session.

WE’RE SO EXCITED TO HAVE YOU INVOLVED WITH MLS GO POWERED BY DCFC!
