Volunteer Training

Thank You for Becoming a Vermont Adaptive Volunteer!

All volunteers must complete the annual volunteer onboarding steps before beginning their summer training. Those steps include:

1. Annual Volunteer Application
2. NCSI Background Check (ages 18 and older)
3. SafeSport Training (ages 18 and older)
4. Annual Online Orientation on Thinkific

If you’ve met the annual volunteer requirements by completing the steps above, you’re ready to begin your Summer Volunteer Training!
