How to Become a Volunteer
- Complete the Volunteer Application
- Phone Interview: We will contact you to schedule a 10-15 minute phone interview to get to know you a little better and also give you a chance to ask any questions you might have.
- Reference Check: Send the link to this form to two people to complete as a reference.
- ID and SSN Cards for Background Check: Because we are a child-serving organization, it’s important we know who’s in our space. We must run a background check before volunteering.
- Send a copy of your ID and SSN Cards through this form or email to volunteer@foreverfam.org
- If you have any criminal involvement in your history (arrest or conviction), this must be disclosed by emailing volunteer@foreverfam.org. It does not necessarily prevent you from volunteering, but must be processed differently.
- Watch the Training Videos and Take the Quiz: From the website homepage, hover over “Volunteer” and select “Training Videos”. After watching the training videos, the volunteer coordinator will email you with a link to the 5-question quiz.
