VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

Your role as a volunteer is to be a positive social role model. We hope that you will “remember the one” when interacting with our students, meaning you will treat each student like a respected and important adult.

The Purpose

Thank you very much for your interest in volunteering with ScenicView Academy.  Our mission is to help individuals diagnosed with Autism, Aspergers, ADHD, Executive Functioning Deficits, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, or Dysgraphia, or other learning disabilities gain skills that lead to interdependent and fulfilling lives. We are proud of our organization and our mission.

Your role as a volunteer is to be a positive social role model. You will help provide and facilitate positive social skills through interacting with our students. By doing so, you will aid in teaching them skills for an independent life and create positive social and leisure experiences. We hope that you will “remember the one” when interacting with our students, meaning you will treat each student like a respected and important adult.

Volunteering at ScenicView Academy is not only a wonderful and fulfilling opportunity; it will also give you a unique experience in the field. It is also a fun and simple way to volunteer that will change our students’ lives by boosting their self-esteem and confidence. We hope that you will enjoy your experience as much as our students.

Volunteer Groups

ScenicView Academy is grateful for all groups interested to volunteer. At this time, we only take volunteer groups for Family Home Evenings. We run Family Home Evenings on Monday nights at 7:30 PM. We typically like to keep groups to 8-10 people. We only welcome larger groups for specific events. Currently, we only accept groups through BYU's Y-Serve. They can be contacted at:  scenicview@byu.edu or visit their website here: https://yserve.byu.edu/programs/scenic-view

Individual Volunteers

ScenicView Academy is happy to provide a volunteer experience for school requirements. We especially work with volunteers who are students majoring in recreation therapy, social work, or taking classes requiring volunteer work. We find their professionalism and enthusiasm a tremendous asset to our volunteer program.

Guidelines:

1. Each class that we accept volunteers for has a set number of individuals that are needed for each term.  
2. Once the volunteer spots are filled those classes will not take volunteers again until the mid-term break.
3. The classes that open up again for volunteers at our mid-term will depend on availability. This is determined by the number of volunteers continuing on from the start of the term.

Expectations:

1. Please expect to arrive 15 minutes early on your first day of volunteering in order to fill out paperwork.
2. You will be expected to be consistent.
3. You must keep track of your own volunteer hours.
