Volunteer Opportunities

Board of Directors

The WCA Board of Directors is currently looking for two new members to fill open gaps. We are looking for parents or board members at large that have a background in policy & school compliance or children and public safety. These potential new members will fill roles on our compliance committee and safety committee. Those that are interested should fill out the board application located here:  Board of Directors Application


Lunch and Recess

Consider volunteering during lunch and recess to assist with student supervision. Our students especially love when adults lead and play games during recess. You can sign up to help here.


Family Volunteering

World Compass Academy asks that each family volunteer 15 hours per school year. The volunteer requirement needs to be completed by the end of the school year. WCA will be using Track It Forward to log all volunteer hours completed this school year.
