Please Read and then fill out the form at the bottom to request your volunteer position. 

Grace Life is a community and we really value family involvement and families getting to know each other! This is one reason that we have a volunteer requirement. 

We want fellowship, not just for the kids, but for moms as well! We probably need it more than the kids! We feel that doesn't happen so easily at a drop off co-op. We don't require parents to be on campus the whole time (although we encourage you to hang out with us in the coffee area!), but we do require you to be there for at least your volunttering spot. 

There is also a lot of work that goes into keeping things running smoothly, and volunteering helps so much!!  

**We will require every family registered to have a parent volunteer. Most jobs are weekly. 

We require every family to volunteer for TWO "Regular" jobs  OR ONE "Grande" job.  

If you have a child under 2, you may select one "Sippy Cup" job  AND One Regular Job OR 2 Sippy Cup jobs to fulfill your volunteering. (Or one Grande if you prefer).

**We do have a volunteer staffed family room from 2nd-5th period and if you are volunteering as a TA during one of those periods, your child can be watched in the family room.** 

Please consider volunteering for a TA spot, as we need to fill those! 

Please fill out this volunteer form ASAP!  If you do not get your prefered job, don't worry, the volunteer coordinator will work with you to find a good fit for you.

Please fill out at least your top 3 choices. If you are choosing to do two Regular jobs, you may want to add a 4th choice. 

Please Note: If we do not get all the TA spots filled, we may need ask some volunteers to switch to a TA spot. But we work to try to make sure everyone is in a good place! We will let you know your assigned volunteer jobs soon after the Open House.
