Volunteer Approval Information

Parents and Volunteers,

Just a reminder about our dedication to the enhancement of learning experiences for our children and youth through the voluntary cooperation of members of the community and its schools:

Criminal background checks of all volunteers is a number one priority.  As a result, recording volunteers and their activities is also a necessity.  A few years ago the state began issuing a "report card" for schools and the organizations within it.  These records will help the Junior Cycling Development Program gain the recognition it deserves as one of the premier clubs in the state of Texas!

The Web site for the application is secured using SSL encryption.

Here's a summary of the Volunteer Approval process:

Volunteers must be verified by coaches before placing volunteers.

Note: The objective of the volunteer program is to provide volunteers who have undergone a criminal background check, thus providing peace of mind to parents and campus coordinators.  It is required of all volunteers; once approved, a volunteer must reapply each year.
