Parent Volunteer Program Guidelines

The Viking Parent Volunteer Program is made up of parents who volunteer their time to assist VASJ with events, activities and other needs that arise throughout the year.  Parent involvement is vital to the growth and increased opportunities for the VASJ community. Even the smallest amount of volunteer time can make a big difference for our students. For families who may need additional tuition assistance, volunteering can help bridge that gap with many activities and/or events qualifying for tuition assistance credits.
