Have questions about volunteering? Read these FAQs:
Q: What do volunteers help with?
A: Signing kids in/out, escorting kids to the restroom and helping the instructor as needed.
Q: Do I need a background check to volunteer? Where/How do I obtain this?

Q: What is the commitment for the volunteer?
A: Volunteers are expected to arrive at least 5-10 minutes prior to the beginning of the program start time, and can leave once all students are safely picked up by their approved contact. All programs run for 1 hour, once a week.
Q: What are the perks of volunteering?
A: There are lots! First, if your family volunteers for ALL of the session, you can receive 50% off of one student’s tuition for the program! Other perks include (but not limited to) being an involved parent, getting to know a variety of kids in your student’s community, experiencing what the students are learning, and in some classes, getting your cardio in if you choose to participate!
Q: Can several different family members help?
A: Yes! If one family has several adult family members (ex. Grandparents) who would like to help fulfill the volunteer responsibilities, they just need to make sure they have a required Level 1 background check done at least a week prior to their first shift. Click the link below to complete the background check.

Q: Can I bring my younger children with me to volunteer?
A: If there are not other childcare options, a younger sibling can come with the volunteer as long as they are not a distraction from the volunteer tasks and based on approval from the vendor providing the program.
Q: How do I get a scholarship for a program?
A: Please continue reading below for our Scholarship Policy and Google Doc Request form. Scholarship questions can be directed to scholarships@wellingtonpta.org
Q: Who runs the Programs Committee and how do I get involved?
A: Parent volunteers! Currently, the committee is a two woman show who works closely with the vendors and is supported by our PTA Presidents and our Office Manager, Virginia. It is a fun and rewarding position and always happy to add more committee members! Please contact president@wellingtonpta.org to ask more questions and get involved.
Q: Am I required to find my own replacement if I am unable to make it to my volunteer shift?
A: Yes, we request that you first try to find your own replacement. But please do let the program committee know so we can make sure we have the correct account for who is responsible. We can help communicate with the vendor as well.
