Any parent, guardian, family member, or approved community member is welcome to volunteer! All volunteers must complete the SCC Volunteer Application and meet safety requirements.

To ensure a safe environment for all learners, we follow state regulations and school policies. This includes verifying volunteer roles, screening for background checks, and confirming TB risk assessments where required.

All required forms—including the application, TB assessment, fingerprinting instructions, and acknowledgment agreements—are available in the “Resources & Forms” section of the Volunteer Page.
Please note: This section is password protected.
To request access, email: 📧 volunteerinfo@scclc.net

We have three levels based on interaction with learners:

Level I: Indirect contact (e.g., office work, event setup)
Level II: Supervised direct contact (e.g., classroom helper, field trip chaperone)
Level III: Unsupervised direct contact (e.g., leading small groups, driving students)

Each level has different clearance requirements.
