For anyone wishing to be a volunteer coach or support any sports, chaperone students on an overnight trip or trip outside of the city they must fill out paperwork and follow steps to become a Level I volunteer. You will need to have to complete a background check and a TB test as a part of Level I volunteer protocol.
