Please read the important information below prior to arrival.

1. DO NOT FORGET YOUR ID! If you do not have your ID, you will not be allowed into the facility and we'll be so sad.

2. If you have a plastic NDCS-issued Volunteer Badge that was mailed to you - DO NOT FORGET IT. One-time volunteers who have not done an orientation with NDCS will not have these badges.

If you are a fully-approved NDCS Volunteer and you do not bring your badge, you will not be allowed into the facility, per NDCS.

3. Please be consistent and respectful in how you show up every single time to every single facility. Developing the "it's allowed here, but not there" mentality impacts the reputation we have as RISE with NDCS.

5. Dress code: To ensure you are not turned away at the door by NDCS (it's happened before), please adhere to the following NDCS requirements, every single time, in every facility. (Please understand that these are rules set in place by NDCS, not RISE):
