V3A has partnered with NuMe Counseling to provide a powerful, SEL group learning opportunity for our 6th-10th graders twice a month through Google Meet. We started this partnership this summer and it was so successful that we wanted to open the opportunity up for any 6th-10th grader. Parent/Guardians MUST complete a Consent form (Google Docs, PDF) in order for students to be able to participate.

If you have someone interested in becoming a volunteer, they can now complete the application online! It is also still available in paper form. The application can be accessed on the VCS website under Community...or the direct link to the online application is https://bit.ly/VolunteerVCS.

The Process:

1. Application Submission Online (or paper copy turned in to Communications)

2. Applications processed through Communications

3. Background Check initiated by HR

4. Prospective Volunteer completes information from BiB in email

5. HR reviews the results upon BiB completion

6. Communications contact prospective volunteers with results

7. If approved, the volunteer must pick up a badge and is added to the official volunteer list.

Please note, the volunteer application may take up to 2-weeks to process.
