As your church kicks off another year of partnership with your local school, you are sure to be communicating with volunteers about opportunities for involvement and next steps! Bringing on new volunteers is essential to ensuring that your partnership continues to be strong and grow. Welcoming returning volunteers is also important because they are able to build on the relationships that you are forming at your partner school! Below you will find two checklists that you can easily copy, paste and pass along to volunteers. If you have new volunteers, send them the first checklist. If you have returning volunteers, send them the second checklist.
