Step 4: Working at your community placement
When you work in the community, there are certain expectations that you are to follow. Some of these expectations are:
¨ Be on time
¨ Dress appropriately (you can ask your teacher or your community sponsor what would be appropriate)
¨ Respect others (use appropriate language and manners)
¨ Confidentiality of workplace information. There may be some information or materials that will need to be kept confidential. This means that you can discuss this information with other people who work there but cannot share it with people who do not work there. You can ask your community sponsor what information may need to be kept confidential.
¨ Willing to try to develop new skills
¨ Try to follow the directions
¨ Careful use of workplace equipment (use all safety precautions)
You may want to keep track of the hours spent volunteering in your community placement. This can be done using a form or chart. Your teacher may provide you with one or you may want to get help in making one for yourself. It’s important to write the date and the number of hours volunteering every time you go.
