Chapter 5: The Volunteer Application Packet

A Volunteer Application Packet (VAP) for each program area should be assembled in the County Extension Office. Each VAP should be run front-to-back on 11 x 17” paper, folded and stapled, to create an 8 ½ x 11” booklet. The VAP should contain the following documents, (masters follow on subsequent pages) arranged in this order:

    1. Volunteer Application
