CAN I VOLUNTEER FOR VBS THIS YEAR?

Yes! However, due to new government regulations, we have some volunteer policy changes so please read the requirements below before signing up using the link at the bottom of the page!

What are the volunteer requirements?

Due to California’s mandate AB506 and the related requirements for child safety and security, we are only able to accept volunteers who regularly attend BOL at this time (attend BOL consistently for at least 2 months). ALL volunteers will be required to go through AB506 training on their own online, as well as our two mandatory VBS training sessions that will meet in person. AB506 also requires all adult volunteers to go through livescanning. Even if you have gone through the training and livescanning with a different organization, AB506 requires each organization to run through training and livescanning separately, so we are unable to use documents you may have from having gone through it elsewhere.

We will also be unable to accept partial-week volunteers this year (all volunteers must be able to volunteer for all the days of VBS).

If English is not your first language and you may need translation assistance for the AB506 online training, please contact the VBS director to make arrangements.

What are the requirements for a brand new volunteer?

On top of the above requirements, new volunteers will be asked to go through an interview process to ensure VBS will be a good fit and experience for you.

Incoming 7th grade volunteers will also be required to volunteer with a parent/guardian as per church policy.

When is volunteer training?

There will be 2 mandatory VBS training sessions for volunteers on:

Tuesday, June 17 at 7p
Tuesday, June 24 at 7p

For volunteers with children/younger siblings who plan to attend VBS, please fill out the volunteer registration FIRST and wait until you get the volunteer discount code to register your child/younger sibling. As a thank you for volunteering, your first child (or younger sibling) is free!
