Hello,

Our organization has pretty solid procedures in place for dismissing volunteers that have already been engaged and denying volunteers that fail their background checks.  We are starting to run into a few potential volunteers that we have identified as not a good fit due to their initial interactions with staff and/or phone interviews.  Can we deny potential volunteers on this basis?   Has anyone else run across this issue?  Do you have guidelines and procedures that you follow for denying a potential volunteer?  Any advice would be helpful.  Thank you.
