Each concession corporation (Aramark, Levy, Deleware North Corporation) and venue has their own set of procedures and guidelines for handling and preparing food.
Volunteers must pass an alcohol training exam. When volunteering at alcohol-related events, please be sure to follow all guidelines you were taught in training. We cannot afford to let long lines or frustrating customers hurry us into mistakes and lack of following procedure. Make sure to ask for proper identification and verify age from all customers.

Serving alcohol requires great responsibility, and, failing to adhere to training and procedures could severely impact the Islander Foundation. Venues complete compliance checks at various stands to ensure that volunteers are strictly following their training. Non-profit organizations and/or individual volunteers who are not found in compliance could face the following consequences:

 

  • Volunteer not being allowed to volunteer any more and / or fined
  • The Foundation not getting our own stands and / or fined
  • The Foundation losing its contract with the venue to place volunteers

 

Each concession operator maintains their own training requirements. Volunteers must complete the necessary training and, if required, pass the appropriate test to volunteer at a concession stand.
