Must be responsible, organized, and personable. We require a letter of recommendation (affirming both good character and grades) from a core subject teacher. You can wait to request that until we reach out to you. Our ViP training, along with other required supplemental briefings and WFU training, will earn you your first two volunteer hours with us. Please note that you will be asked to pay $10 towards your ViP uniform t-shirt. (If the cost is a problem for you, please let us know and we will cover it). If you can meet these requirements, please continue to answer the questions below and submit. Thank you!
Being a part of our team means that we represent the organizations in which we partner (Wake Forest University OCCE, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Crosby Scholars, WSFCS, and many more). Although it comes with responsibility, we hope you find the experience as beneficial and rewarding as those on our team have!

We will do our best to match you with your preference if possible. You may check more than one. *
