New Volunteer Clearance Process

Balancing the ease of volunteer clearance while safeguarding our students is our primary goal. Our new four-tier volunteer clearance process should minimize volunteer confusion, centralize the process, provide transparency, and ensure volunteers meet the proper level of clearance. Volunteers will be reimbursed for any expenses related to Livescan fingerprinting and supervision certification.

Learn more about the clearance process to volunteer.
