The PALS System
PALS is ready for action! PALS, the Pioneer Alliance Linkage System, is the TelecomPioneers database where your Pioneer membership information, volunteer opportunities and activity records are stored. To access the system, visit http://pals.telecompioneers.org/ and click on Create Account to submit a request for a PALS Username and Password.

• Once you receive your PALS login, return to PALS and click on “My Profile” (on the left side of the screen) to update your volunteer interests and availability and choose options to have PALS send you email notifications when projects are entered into the system that match your interests, skills and talents and/or availability. If any information not accessible to you needs to be updated (i.e., your home address, work location, name change) please contact us at jerseyshore@attnjpioneers.org.
• PALS gives you access to search for volunteer opportunities. Click “Search Opportunities” on the left menu and enter your search criteria. After clicking the ‘Search’ button, PALS displays a listing of the projects stored in the system that match your criteria. Click on the project name to display the project detail and ‘Volunteer’ for a project. Since we’re all just beginning to use the system, check regularly for more volunteer projects and opportunities as they are still being entered. If you wish to lead a project, contact your local club jerseyshore@attnjpioneers.org for help in posting project information.
• If you sign up to participate in a project, you can also use your login to report your volunteer hours. Click on “Report Volunteer Hours” on the left menu. This will display the projects you volunteered for through PALS. Click on the project name, then on “Report Hours” at the bottom of the screen. Enter the total hours you have spent on the project to date (this information can be later updated.) The hours you report are used in three ways: first, to determine your eligibility for TelecomPioneers awards based on volunteer hours; second, to determine your club or chapter’s eligibility for awards and grants based on the total hours contributed to projects; and third, to quantify the community involvement of all TelecomPioneers across AT&T and across the nation. So please help us out by entering your volunteer hours!
