Volunteer Information for Penn ID

Your DOB and SSN will be used to generate a PennID number granting you access to an ID badge and computer account (as applicable).  

ID Badge Information

Volunteers are required to wear their official authorized PENN ID badge on your collar upon entry and throughout their shift. Volunteers may not write on or otherwise deface their ID badge and may not give their ID badges to anyone else to wear or use for access purposes.

Should a volunteer lose their ID badge, they must immediately report it to Volunteer Services.
