Volunteer Application Form
Definition of a Volunteer
A volunteer is anyone 18 or older (21 years or older for overnight activities) who receives no monetary
compensation from the school district. A volunteer may be a parent, District employee, family member, or
community member who submits an annual application to the school principal or designee to participate. Per
Assembly Bill 506, regular volunteers are required to complete annual mandated reporter training. All WVUSD
volunteers will be required to complete Mandated Reporter training.
