VOLUNTEER AGREEMENTS
Safety is a high priority for us. We are asking all volunteers, including Room Moms, to fill out and sign our volunteer agreement form so we can do a background check. The volunteer agreement will last for this entire year. Also, please read through our Child Protection Policy, as it lists very important information. We will not allow any adults to stay in the dressing rooms during the shows without a background check on file. For Winter Celebration, Volunteer Agreement forms are due to the FDW office no later than Friday, November 20th. If unable to print, please stop by the front desk for a copy.
