Serving with FCA KIDS
Without the help of faithful volunteers, FCA KIDS would never happen! Check out below to find out how you can help serve your student's school.
Steps to Serving with FCA KIDS
FCA has multiple steps to prepare our volunteers to ensure the highest chance of safety for our FCA KIDS.
Steps to Volunteering Below:
All steps need to be completed in order to begin to serve with FCA KIDS.
School System Background Check
All volunteers must be approved volunteers with the school system they are serving. Each school system has their own background check process for visitors.
FCA Volunteer Impact Portal VIP Application
Volunteers must also complete the FCA VIP Application (Volunteer Impact Portal).
This is a form that runs a background check through FCA's portal.
The VIP is a new platform for our applications. Please contact your local FCA Staff for the links to the VIP for your Huddles. This application contains some basic theology questions to get to know your faith background.
FCA KIDS VIP applicants will select the option that best fits your role within the Huddle:
- For Example:
Adult Huddle Leader- direct communication with students with Bible lessons and devotionals
Student Huddle Leader- directly involved with communicating with the students in the Huddle about Bible material and faith based topics
Helper/Greeter- A one size fits all for someone who may not be ready to lead in a small group, but is available to help as needed in the Huddle.
Mobilized Volunteer
If you are going to be involved with leading and/or teaching students we require you work towards becoming a Mobilized Volunteer.
After being approved with the school system and VIP, you will take two courses on FCA University through the VIP platform to become a Mobilized Volunteer. These are beneficial free courses that will help familiarize you with FCA and our strategies. All Huddle leader volunteers need to complete this training, it does NOT have to be completed in one sitting.
Follow-Up with Huddle Leader/FCA Staff
All approved volunteers need to be in communication with their school's Huddle leader or local FCA Staff to determine their best role in serving.
