WHAT does the process look like

To give you a comprehensive understanding of DIVD's work and mission, we highly recommend that you take our brief introductory course, which is available at DIVD Introduction. This course will provide you with valuable insights. Next, you'll need to book an introductory meeting to familiarize yourself with our organization further. You can schedule this meeting at your convenience via Calendly. After the meeting you will automatically receive an invitation for a free (no costs will be charged) Certificate of Conduct to confirm your identity. Once you receive it via email, please upload it here.  We prefer the digital version of the Certificate of Conduct (VOG), if this is not an option for you and you apply for the paper version, please take a photo of the paper document and upload it here . After completing the previous steps, you must sign a volunteer agreement. This agreement confirms that you are committed to following the DIVD Code of Conduct. By signing, you will acknowledge and agree to maintain the standards and principles outlined in this code, ensuring that your conduct matches the values and expectations set forth by DIVD. Please be aware that the onboarding process, including the necessary screening, may take some time (between one week and 2 months). However, during this period, you can actively interact with other volunteers in the DIVD.community Slack. This is a great way to integrate into our community and make valuable connections.

Thank you for your enthusiasm and commitment to our cause.
We look forward to your active participation and your contributions to DIVD.
