Application Process:

Step 1: Either contact the VISTA at the school where you want to volunteer or print out our volunteer application form and send it to us.  A VISTA will contact you.

Step 2: Background check.  Every volunteer is screened.  You will be given a background check form to complete.  When the check is completed, we begin the process of matching you with a student.

Step 3: Training.  Each volunteer is trained on procedures from where to sign in, to documenting time spent with a child.  We also give you tips for working with students in different subject areas and grade levels.

Step 4: Mentor! Experience the joy of helping a child!
