| Often,
volunteers and their supervisors wish the volunteer
assignment to be extended beyond the initial approved
term of service. Click here (Service
Extension Request form) to download the request
form. Following are the guidelines to keep in mind: |
- The responsibility
to extend a volunteer’s term of service and
insurance rests upon the volunteer and the Host
Institution/Supervisor. Requests for extensions
should be sent to the Host Division Volunteer
Coordinator for approval and then forwarded to
the GC Adventist Volunteer Center.
- GC Insurance
automatically expires at the end of the voted length
of service, thus the Host Institution is responsible
for any claims should it fail to request an extension
for a volunteer.
- A volunteer
taking a break from service for more than two months
shall be considered as beginning a new assignment
rather than taking an extension.
- A volunteer
serving in excess of THREE years is required to
sign a letter indicating that he/she does not have
expectation of compensation for services normally
offered to church employees, e.g. retirement benefits.
