IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR PARENTS & GUARDIANS!
As we start the 2025-26 school year, YVC is very excited to continue to offer a wide variety of volunteer opportunities for youth 11-18. YVC has grown to almost 500 students very rapidly! With that amount of growth in a short time, we thought it was important to go over of our rules. This way our staff, students, and parents all have a postive experience with our program.
- When signing up a student to volunteer, please sign up using the students name and provide an emergency contact phone number.
- Every youth volunteer MUST have a waiver filled out to volunteer.
-
All students MUST SIGN UP AT LEAST 48 hours before a scheduled event. If you would like to sign your student up late, you need to swebb@volunteerracine.org to do so.
- Parents DO NOT drop off your student to volunteer unless you have received an email from the Program Director verifying sign up, and giving the information needed to volunteer.
- Students need to come appropriately dressed to volunteer. This consists of YVC T-Shirt, pants or shorts without excessive holes, shorts must be an appropriate length, and midriff cannot be showing.
- Students CANNOT be on their phone while volunteering, unless on break. Phone calls to parents, and rides are always permitted.
- Students CANNOT use any tabacco or vape while volunteering.
- YVC has a ZERO TOLERANCE for bullying.
- YVC reserves the right to have any student removed from volunteering in the event of poor behavior, not following rules, or refusal to volunteer. Parents/Guardians will be reached and expected to pick their student up in a reasonable amount of time. The Program Director will determine if the student is allowed to come back and volunteer.
- Students NEED to be picked up from events ON TIME.
- End times for each event are a guess of how long it will take to complete each project. Please understand that there are times students complete projects faster than expected, and the event may end earlier. If this occurs,we will have your student notify you, and you will be expected to pick them up in a reasonable amount of time.
- If a student needs a form filled out for school or court mandated community service, the student is responsible to bring that form when they come to volunteer.
Thank you for your support and adherence to YVC Policy.
