VOLUNTEERING
Volunteers are the life blood of any nonprofit organisation. RDA volunteers are no exception; we rely heavily on our volunteers to deliver our services.
All new volunteers will receive induction training on their first day. This will include a tour of the facilities and an introduction to RDA.
RDA volunteers are screened for Working With Children and Vulnerable Adults according to State and local requirements.
