Volunteering

Thank you for your willingness to volunteer!

When you become part of the CCS family, you agree to serve 20 (or more) volunteer hours per school year between the two parents.

Why should you volunteer?

There are a few reasons this service is necessary:

• It fosters the feeling of CCS community and a unity of believers.
• It gives opportunities for parents to interact with and get to know other parents.
• It helps keep school resource costs down, which helps keep tuition costs down.

What is a volunteer/chaperone?

At CCS, some volunteers/chaperones will require a background check. If a volunteer/chaperone will be involved in a school activity where he/she will be with students unsupervised by a staff member, then that volunteer/chaperone will require a background check. See instructions below.

If a background check is required:

If you are going to volunteer by directly chaperoning or supervising students in some way, such as a field trip, it will be necessary for you to complete a couple of extra steps. Background checks are required each year a parent participates.

• Complete the Volunteer Application (once per school year).
• A background check will then be completed.
• You will need to view a safety video with brief test at the end of the video. (This step takes about two hours to complete and is not necessary each school year, only once.)

How long the background check takes depends on how quickly you move through the steps. It is best to please take these steps early in the year, so you can already be through the process before the volunteering activity takes place. Once you complete this process, you will be added to a master list in which all CCS teachers can see you have been approved for this type of volunteer service.

Please use the link below to complete your volunteer application. If you have any questions about the process, please contact the office at the campus where you wish to volunteer.
