Letter of Recommendation
Dear Youth Applicant,
A letter of recommendation is highly recommended for 1st year volunteer applications. – Please give your letter writer plenty of notice to complete and submit the recommendation.
Please provide a link for this website to the person you’ve asked to write a letter of recommendation on your behalf.
Remember- the recommendation needs to be completed by a non-relative adult who can speak to your eligibility as a volunteer. Examples of good letter writer candidates are: teachers, counselors, coaches, church leaders, etc. It cannot be completed by a peer nor by a relative.
