The role and function of the teen volunteer is focused on in the following section which includes questions to help the getting acquainted process, a sample record form, important general information, and a "disaster kit." The final section describes CEC club activities suggesting ways to build group consensus and including a teen volunteer self-rating scale, and a sample code of ethics.
