How To Become a Field Trip and Tier 3 Volunteer:  

1. Print a completed Confidentiality Agreement.

2. Bring the completed application and your driver license to Sunset's front office.

3. Schedule and complete a Volunteer Background Check (wcs.edu).

4. Sunset will receive notification of your background approval 1-2 weeks after your fingerprint scan. Call Anais Hodge at the school office, 615-472-5020, 1-2 weeks after your fingerprint scan to confirm you've been approved.

5. Visit the school on one of their badge making days to receive your Tier 3 Volunteer Badge. The school will create your badge on site and you can take it home that day. The process is easy and takes less than 5 minutes.

* Once Sunset confirms receipt of your background approval, you can immediately partake in Tier 3 Volunteer Opportunities.

You must have your drivers license for verification, no badge will be made without having your drivers license.  If you lost your badge or your badge is broken, you may obtain a replacement badge for $5 and you must bring your driver’s license for verification again.
