Volunteering at Cedars

Each family with children attending Cedars is expected to contribute 25 hours of volunteer time with the school each year. We have many opportunities that range from driving on field trips to helping with hot lunch, coaching sports teams to cleaning up around the school on our spring and fall work bee sessions.

Check below for updates on current volunteer opportunities. We also post these in the weekly news email, The Shake.

You can record the hours you spend volunteering right here using this handy form!

Volunteer Application and Driver Information

Each volunteer must submit an application form (link below). If you wish to help with driving students for field trips or other events, we will need the driver information on page 2 of the application filled in.

These forms are included as part of each year’s re-registration process. If you need an extra form, you can download it from this page.

Volunteer Application and Driver Information Form

Please note that you will need to submit a copy of your current vehicle insurance and a Driver’s Abstract if you wish to volunteer as a driver.

You have two options to get your Driver’s Abstract to us: Online at the Driver’s Abstract Website, or call 1-800-663-3051 between 8:00am and 5:00pm, Monday to Friday, and ask them to fax it to the school at 250-564-0729.

Child Abuse and Neglect Orientation

To further protect the children and youth in our care from abuse and/or neglect, we now require all staff and volunteers who work with our students to orient themselves in the types and signs of child abuse and neglect, steps to follow in the case of student disclosures, and the duty to report.

The orientation will take approximately ten minutes. Click the button below to be taken to the orientation (opens in new tab).
