Vanguard Volunteers

Become a Parent Volunteer!

At Vanguard Classical School, our volunteers seek to enhance the experiences of all of our students, staff and parents. We encourage our volunteers to partner with the school and our Board of Directors to help make the school all that it can be. As a Vanguard parent/guardian, we do not require you to volunteer, however we encourage you to volunteer at least 20 hours per year in some capacity. Your help is always appreciated; no matter how you choose to participate.

How to Volunteer

For the continued safety of our children, we complete reference and background checks on all individuals who volunteer in our school. Every volunteer wears a name badge and checks in and out at the Front Desk. To become a volunteer, please download the appropriate forms below. Once you have turned in your forms, you will be notified in approximately 1 – 2 weeks when you are eligible to volunteer.
