Volunteer Service Opportunities 2023-2024

Please read this section prayerfully, with family discussion, and decide how your family would like to share their talents, gifts, interests, and abilities with other families in the Academy. In addition to moms, we encourage dads and older students to volunteer as well. Your family’s contribution and commitment are critical for fulfilling our mission and vision. If you are unable to complete your required volunteer credits in a timely manner, it may affect your eligibility for membership in Verity Academy.  Please select areas where your family is willing to serve.

• For Returning Full or Partnered Members, your service should total 8 credits for this school year.

• For New Members (including former Junior Partnered Members), your service should total 4 credits for this school year.

• For Junior Partnered Members, your service should total 2 credits for this school year.

For questions regarding any of these volunteer opportunities, or coordinating an event or class, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator here.

At the time of registration, when signing up to host a class or field trip, you will be required to fill out a detailed Idea Form.  This is essential to the creation of the Verity calendar for the school year.  Failure to have these forms filled out will delay the approval of your registration. 

Below is a summary list of all of the volunteer positions available. Please be sure to read the descriptions that follow before signing up for that position. If there is a line through the item that means the job has been filled.

Thank you! We look forward to serving with you this year!
