The ACES Project Site Requirements

1. Site supervision - a professional will be assigned as the site supervisor and remain accessible to the ACES volunteer(s) for support. Responsibilities include:

• Develop an effective client referral system.
• Market the program within the agency.
• Coordinate the volunteers' schedules.
• Supervise the volunteers:
  • Be available to the volunteers for support or questions.
  • Hold periodic group and/or individual meetings with the volunteers.
  • Track and monitor the client referrals received by the volunteers

2. Space - provide a desk, computer, filing space, phone, and other materials necessary for the volunteers to do their work on site.

3. Record Keeping - submit the ACES volunteer attendance through an online database monthly. An email reminder will be sent each month to the site supervisor who should report the attendance by the 10th of the following month.

4. Client files belong to the partner agency and stay onsite. If the volunteers are working remotely, the agency must establish client confidentiality protocols and provide the volunteer with this information or any required training. If the ACES Project ceases to operate at the site, the agency should properly dispose of client file materials in a manner that will preserve confidentiality.
