Before placement in a classroom all potential volunteers must attend a two-hour orientation and fill out the required paperwork, including a background check and reference check.
*This process can take several weeks, so we recommend that you come to an orientation at least one month before you would like to begin volunteering.
Please note: Volunteer positions may not be used to fulfill observation requirements for a teaching practicum. WAVES volunteer placements are neither opportunities to observe teachers nor to teach classes.
