2. Volunteering: I, a VHE member family, realize that VHE is a volunteer support group and agree to a giving and receiving relationship. Many events are contingent upon the volunteer commitment of our members. As a member of VHE, I will help with at least one event or activity during the 2021-2022 school year.
Many hands make light work. Please select 4 items from the service list below. You will only be assigned to help with ONE of your choices.

Descriptions of Volunteer Opportunities: Note that the number in parenthesis indicates the number of volunteers needed for that service opportunity over the course of a year.

End of Year Testing Proctor (12)- You must have a bachelor's degree to volunteer for this! Stanford 10 testing will take place in May. As a tester, you will need to complete some easy requirements by BJU Press. You must commit to administering to one testing level during all three scheduled testing mornings, 8 am to 12 pm.

Field Day Event Team (8)- Coordinate and plan an outdoor family event in which kids of all ages compete against each other for prizes. Obstacle courses, 3-legged race, water balloon toss, and many other typical and not-so-typical field day type games will be held in May 2022 at a local park.

Field Trip Coordinator for Older Students (9)- Set up one field trip or social activity for older students. You will be working with a VHE board member to get the event added to the calendar.

Funky's Skate Day (6)- Collect money and registration at one of the three VHE Skate Days held on a Friday afternoon in Nov, Jan, and March. Ideal for parents of independent skaters so that you can remain at the registration table.

Graduation Hospitality Team 2022 (8)- If you have a high school student (not a senior), this would be an excellent place to volunteer. Support the parents of the 2022 graduates as they plan the graduation ceremony and reception. Specific needs are for people to serve refreshments at the reception. Graduation will be held on May 14, 2022.

Kick-off Event Team (5)- This event starts off the VHE school year with a bang! Volunteers will help with the planning, setup, and clean-up of this event, usually held at a local park. We need a coordinator and volunteers for this event. (September 2021)

Moms Events Volunteer (8)- If you are passionate about bringing homeschool moms together, this is the volunteer position for you! Ideas could be, but are not limited to, hosting a small event in your home or a larger event with food and an inspirational speaker. A board member can assist you in developing your idea and will work with you to get the event added to the calendar.

Talent and Art Show Team (6)- Work with VHE Board member, Angela Heatwole, to help with set up, flow, and tear down for the show. Help is also needed to serve refreshments. This event will take place in Feb 2022. Typically held at a local church, the evening is a variety show. Between the show and fellowship time that typically follows, this is often a highlight of our group.

Used Curriculum Sale Team (2)- Serve by advertising for the sale and coordinating the site reservation. Sellers, NOT volunteers, will be held responsible for set-up and tear down. You will work with a VHE board member for this event. Held in early June 2022.

Other- Choose this only IF you have an idea for a VHE event that YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO PLAN. Create an event centered around your particular interests or gifts. A board member can assist you in developing your idea and will work with you to get the event added to the calendar. Please mention your idea in the comments section.
