Teen CORE of Cary—Teen Leader Checklist
Teen Leader Responsibilities for onsite service projects:
____ Review Project description on calendar for project details/information.Be familiar with where you are going, what the philanthropy does, what you will be doing and why we are helping. Contact a Teen CORE Leader if you have any questions.
____Use our website to familiarize yourself with who is signed up for the project.
____The ProjectSignIn sheet will be emailed to you prior to the date of the event. If you haven’t received it 2 days prior to project, please contact Alicia Haskell ( or text to 919-271-2826).
____Decide, with your parent/adult leader, whether you will meet at project location, or carpool to project. Adult drivers only for carpools!
____Contact all Teen CORE members who are signed up for the project, 2 days before the event by phone call, to remind them of date, time and special instructions. Leave your phone number for questions & confirmation calls. There is a script you should use: under Documents, Teen Leader Forms on our website.
____Be onsite at least 10-15 minutes before start time to sign members in and discuss project. The Adult Team Leader must be in attendance.
____Have members sign the Project Sign-In sheet emailed to you for verification of their attendance. Adult volunteers must also sign in. Important – No credit for hours without signing the form! No one is to sign in for someone else. It is your responsibility to let us know if someone left early, did not come or told you ahead of time that they were not attending. Please write in WHY a member is not there or put ‘No Show’ on the line. Have members introduce themselves to one another!
____Let the person in charge of philanthropy project know that our group is there.
____Try to get a couple of photos of Teen CORE members in action (if it is appropriate), or in front of a philanthropy sign.
____Make sure that everyone signs out before leaving (note accurate end time if someone leaves early). Do not leave a project site until all members are picked up by parents.
____ Download and print the Project Leader Report form from the website. Fill it out immediately after the event to record your activities and opinions. If you have suggestions to improve or change a project, please include them. If you did not have enough to do or the philanthropy was unorganized, please tell us.
____Return the Project Sign In sheet AND Project Leader Report forms to the Lochmere Main Pool office within 7 days of the project. There is a wall mail box to the right of the main office door. No one will receive credit for the project until your forms are turned in. This is an important part of your responsibility.
