We require all our volunteers to attend our training sessions, to receive an invitation to our next training session, please submit an RIT volunteer application.

Kindly note:
+Volunteers must be 18 or older;
+All RIT volunteer opportunities are long-term (at least 6 months).

Here are the steps for our onboarding process (mandatory for all volunteers):

  • Volunteer application

  • Self-paced online orientation

  • First training (Learn about RIT, newcomers community, and RIT programs)

  • Interview (you will receive an email from us when we are ready to onboard new volunteers)

  • Second training (knowledge and skill to tutor newcomer students)

  • Background check (you will need to do this step specifically for RIT, your previous background check cannot be transferred over)

  • COVID Vaccination record

  • TB test (for school-based volunteers)

  • Volunteer match/placement

  • Join RIT’s volunteer group

I am constantly inspired by my students’ courage, determination, and hope for a better future. Their presence here gives me hope for all of us.
