Program Service and Training

Elevate will require you to volunteer in-person at a local middle or high school for ~5 hours per week during the school day (typically Mondays-Fridays from 8am-4pm). In addition, you will be required to attend preservice training (~20 hours in 3 weeks, hybrid) and a virtual 1.5 hour training each week on a weekday evening (typically between 5pm-9pm) for the next year. Will you be able to commit to managing these obligations with your schedule?

YesNoUnsure

Please describe challenges you anticipate that might impact your ability to complete community service or training.

You will be responsible for transporting yourself to and from the school site where you volunteer. While we will make every effort to pair you with a convenient school site, you may need to travel up to 10 miles or 30 minutes to your school site. How will you transport yourself?

I have a car on campus and can drive to the school site.I can borrow a car from a friend or carpool on a regular basis.I have a bike, scooter, or other transportation tool that can travel up to 5 miles.I am comfortable taking public transit (BART, buses, etc.) and walking to my school site.Transportation is a concern for me.
