- If you have completed the process at some point, email Eileen Wagner, YHS Volunteer & Partnership Liaison) to learn if your volunteer approval is up-to-date.
- If you need to complete, click here: APS volunteer application
- At this same site, upload your COVID vaccine card.
- Complete the online Safe Schools training (30 minutes). A link to the training will be emailed after your APS volunteer application is submitted (step 2).
- Email the Safe Schools completion certificate to Eileen Wagner, who will soon after email you confirmation that your application is approved.
- Forward to volunteer@yorktownband.org the approval email from Eileen (either from step 1 or step 5).
