    To determine whether such a volunteer arrangement is appropriate, the volunteer and the volunteer’s supervisor must complete the Volunteer Services Agreement and Statement of Understanding Form at least ten (10) business days prior to the performance of any services.  The link to the Tennessee Tech Volunteer form can be found on the Human Resources webpage under HR Forms>Employment>Miscellaneous forms, or by clicking here.   

    The use of the current volunteer form will be discontinued immediately.
