VOLUNTEER POLICY

Visitors are always welcome, but please call for an appointment.
Volunteer and Visitor Policy
Columbia Child Development Program welcomes families, students, and community members to visit and volunteer at all our centers. Volunteers and Visitors can help teachers with activities, read to students, share a talent or tradition, or simply spend time with their child at school. Volunteers and Visitors are asked to arrange classroom visits with the agency in advance.
The NEW requirements for visiting and volunteering at Columbia Child Development Program are outlined below:
Occasional Visitors
Individuals who plan to occasionally visit a classroom are asked to sign in and out at the Visitor/Volunteer Station and wear a badge while in the center. All Visitors are asked to read and sign a Confidentiality Policy. In addition, if we do not know you, we will ask to see your photo ID. Occasional Visitors no longer need to complete clearances unless they plan to volunteer for more than 2 hours per week.
Regular Volunteers
Individuals who plan to spend more than 2 hours per week with the children at a center are required to complete a Volunteer Packet which includes clearances and a mandated reporter training. Please contact the agency if you would like to complete the Volunteer Packet in order to volunteer more than 2 hours per week. Columbia Child Development staff is available to help with this free process.
