2024-2025 Volunteer Application 

The Vance County Board of Education (the “board”) recognizes the valuable contributions that school volunteers make to the learning process and the educational goals of the school system.  Instructional programs are enhanced through the contributions of students’ parents, community members, and local business and industry.  These volunteers contribute time, resources, and expertise that assist the school system to reach the goal of providing a sound basic education to all children. All school volunteers are expected to be professional and dependable in their volunteer activities.  Access Policy 5020, School Volunteers, for additional information.

Common Volunteer Questions

What are the goals of the Volunteer Program?

The goals of a volunteer program are to improve and expand upon the educational experiences provided for all students. Through a volunteer program students can get the additional support, attention and assistance that many young people need to succeed in school. A whole array of resources will become available to the school via the skills, talents and interests of volunteers. The volunteer program will enhance and broaden the rapport between the school and the parents and community members served by the school. Finally, the volunteer program will assist school personnel allowing educators to focus their time and talents on direct instructional activities.

What are activities volunteers should not participate in?

Despite the background and abilities of volunteers some activities should be left to classroom teachers and other staff members. Volunteers should not be put in the position of direct instructional responsibility, formal evaluation of student progress, handling confidential material, determining group or individual instructional needs, holding conferences with parents or similar activities.

What qualifications are needed to be an effective volunteer?

First and foremost, a potential volunteer should have a sincere desire to help others. In the school situation, it also is helpful and preferable that the individual enjoys working with and among young people! Beyond that a good volunteer program should be able to find a suitable position for any individual who wishes to serve regardless of the interests, experiences or background of the volunteers. If training is needed, the program should provide it. All skills are welcomed skills.
