HOW TO SIGN UP AS A VOLUNTEER
The process is slightly different depending on whether you are a new or returning volunteer. All volunteers need to complete the sign-up form. If a returning volunteer's background check has expired (they last three years) then they need to obtain a background check. New volunteers need to complete the sign-up form complete the training and obtain a background check. After you have completed the process, the Parent Facilitator from your school will contact you about volunteering.
