REGULAR PROTOCOLS

Check-In Instructions

  1. Arrive on time for your shift at the designated meeting location, prepared with materials, and in the proper uniform.

  2. Check in with team lead each hour and state your exact location

  3. Check out with your team lead at the designated location and time.

Data Reporting & Data Collection

Ambassadors are expected to collect important data and information about activities conducted during every shift through the Daily Activity Log to ensure accurate information.

Every day each Ambassador will also provide a daily summary of their total activities to their team lead to document and track measurable goals.

Each team's Daily Activity Log can be found on the home page of the CAP Dashboard.

General Emergency Response Process

In general, the emphasis is on immediately contacting emergency services (911) and ensuring personal safety before any level of involvement.

Though emergency response is not the primary function of the Community Ambassadors Program, in the event of an emergency, ambassadors may be called up on to provide direct assistance, act as witnesses, provide language services, or support other emergency responders.

Situations involved injury or illness of an ambassador on the job should be immediately reported to Team Leads and Program Management so that proper care and documentation can be insured. Unless life threatening or critical situations arise, ambassadors should first communicate with Program Management for proper instructions on access medical care or going to the doctor for workplace related injuries or illnesses.
