Applying for a volunteer position and they need two referees that they’ll contact and ask them to write a character reference. I’m kind of scared to ask my manager because she’s busy and also a colleague because of the off-chance that they’ll turn on me. But I should just ask.
Lining up references is the worst. I hate asking, and yet I’ve frequently been a reference for others and I’m always happy to do it. Happy to help if you get stuck.

Shoot me a message if you need help.
Thanks :)
Is the organisation also offering a background check on their own reliability and honesty?
I doubt it, I would look them up myself first, too many dodgy people out there taking advantage.
References for volunteers are needed if they’re complying with Victorian child safety standards. It’s annoying but there’s a reason for it.
They have a 25 year history and have won various awards

Thank you :) the references have to be someone I’ve known for at least two years
