• If you want to attend an event as an observer that does not pose the potential to interact and/or supervise students (awards ceremonies, etc.) you do not need volunteer training. Field trips are NOT observer events and DO require volunteer status and background checks. 

    RSS has two tiers of volunteers. Tier I is required to submit a volunteer registration, background screening, and the volunteer interest form. Tier II is required to complete the Tier I process and attend a volunteer training session. Both tier levels assume potential interaction with and supervision of students, which is why training and background screening are required. 

     

    Please click Communities in Schools Rowan for upcoming training dates and times.  

    You can attend a training session with Communities in Schools or at a Rowan-Salisbury Schools session, as they are reciprocal.  If you need assistance with the background screening, please call 704-439-3900.The Communities in Schools and RSS Volunteer process is normally completed within 1-2 weeks.
