Frequently Asked Questions

WHO CAN VOLUNTEER AT ESU?

Anyone over the age of 18 can become a Volunteer with Evolution Sports University. We have opportunities to participate as an intern as well as various volunteer options.
DO I HAVE TO COMMIT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME EACH WEEK?

Yes, we ask that you are prepared to volunteer a minimum of 10 hours per month. ESU as much as possible, will work around your availability. There are different needs at different times so it's best to talk it over with staff to see where you can assist.
WILL I GET TRAINING BEFORE I START?

Yes, you will receive guidance and training specific to the type of volunteer or intern position you fill.
WILL I BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A BACKGROUND CHECK?

At ESU, the safety and security of our youth is of the utmost importance. Any volunteer or intern position that has contact with our students or will be on school property during the school day is required to be fingerprinted and background screened. In addition, depending on the type of volunteer you are categorized as, you may be required to take a series of video training courses as well as a CPR/First Aid/AED course. Support and Special Event Volunteers are not required to submit fingerprints or have a background screen.
I HAVE ALREADY HAD A PREVIOUS BACKGROUND CHECK AND TRAINING COURSES THROUGH PREVIOUS EMPLOYMENT OR VOLUNTEERISM. WILL I BE REQUIRED TO RETAKE TRAINING OR HAVE ANOTHER BACKGROUND SCREENING?

You will be required to retake a background screen, regardless of where or how old your current one is. If you have previously taken training courses offered through the Department of Juvenile Justice's SkillPro system, you are not required to retake those, with the exception of two courses that do require periodic renewals.
