How are placements determined?

Once all fourteen MercyWorks volunteers are confirmed, each volunteer is sent a list of placements for the upcoming year and is asked to rank their placement preferences. A conference call is scheduled to provide an opportunity for the volunteers to learn more about each placement and ask questions. When volunteers arrive to MercyWorks in July, they interview for two positions, ideally two of their top preferences. Each volunteer is selected for one placement, dependent upon their strengths and skills and the needs of Mercy Home.
