Volunteer Opportunities for Families

Volunteer Opportunities for Families

Families are an important part of our school community. The participation and commitment of our families help make Vida Charter School a rich and wonderful learning environment for our students. There are numerous opportunities for family involvement which are designed to help adults support their student’s education and development. A guide for volunteers can be found on the Vida website under Family Resources, here.

Volunteer opportunities include, but are not limited to:

  • The Family Faculty Partnership (FFP@vidacs.org)
  • Board membership, or participation in the Finance, Academic Excellence, or Governance Committee
  • Fundraising campaigns
  • Enrichment activities, service learning activities, or assistance to a Vida educator
  • Field trip chaperones

The three mandatory clearances for ALL volunteers are:

When you apply, please mark “Volunteer,” and there will be no charge for Acts 34 and 115.

If you have been a resident of Pennsylvania for the last ten consecutive years, you are eligible to fill out the Volunteer Verification for Exemption from FBI Federal Criminal History Clearance form. This form is located at the main office to be completed in person. If you have not been a resident of Pennsylvania for the last ten consecutive years, you must apply for an FBI clearance using the above link for Act 114.

There are two clearance workshops during the school year to support families in completing their requisite clearances. Only families with up to date clearances will be invited to attend field trips.

Clearance Workshops are on September 18th and January 22 from 4-5 p.m. Any questions about volunteering can be directed here.
