The volunteer training process for Project Open Door has been unorganized and impromptu, without a planned calendar, explanation of the layout of the program, guidelines, responsibilities, and a social approach to teaching high school students. Due to these inadequacies, a proper training process needs to be implemented to make the transition as a volunteer a smooth and enticing one. This mission of the Peppers initiative is to improve Project Open Door’s after school program through a coherent three-part volunteer engagement process
