Volunteer

Parents are integral to the success of our students at UCA and we encourage active parent participation, as it is an important role in your child’s education. We thank you for your interest in serving as a Volunteer for Uwharrie Charter Academy.

Volunteers will be separated into two categories:

  • Level 1 Volunteers will work alongside a UCA Staff Member and will not have unsupervised access to any students at any time.
  • Level 2 Volunteers can have unsupervised access to students, and thus must complete a Criminal History Background Check before they can serve at this level.

Approved Volunteers expire at the end of each school year and must re-apply at the beginning of each school year. Background checks will be valid for 2 consecutive years beginning with the 24-25 School Year.

Please Note: Background checks will no longer be paid for by UCA — all Volunteers will pay online for their own individual background check through our 3rd party provider, B-Chex. If you have any concerns using the Secure Volunteer Portal, please contact them directly via their help options listed on their website.

Please read the directions below, and we look forward to having you volunteer amongst the UCA Campuses!

Please complete ALL steps if you wish to serve as a Volunteer.

  • Report Directly to the campus that you will PRIMARILY serve as a Volunteer to complete an application. Please be sure to bring a Photo ID. A photocopy will be retained during the school year, and properly shredded at the end of the year.
  • The Receptionist on Duty will provide potential volunteers with an application and will copy your Photo ID, along with checking the National Sex Offenders Registry.
  • If cleared of the Sex Offenders Registry – Volunteer may begin serving as a Level 1 Volunteer.
  • To serve as a Level 2 Volunteer, please fill out the background check here AND steps 1 -3 listed above. The Director of Human Resources will email the Volunteer once the application has been recorded, and the results of the background check have been received.
  • If cleared of the Background Check – Volunteer may begin serving as a Level 2 Volunteer.

Any Questions, please contact the Site-Based Administrator or the Director of Human Resources.
