Get Involved, Volunteer!
The Estancia Valley Classical Academy Foundation (EVCA Foundation) is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization. The foundation was established in 2012 with the founding of the school to provide facilities and as a way to accept funding from outside sources according to NM State Laws governing Charter Schools. In essence, the Foundation serves as the “landlord” for the buildings and grounds and assists in raising money for non-operational needs of the school.
How To Become An EVCA Volunteer:
Join the EVCA Volunteer Team!
At EVCA, our parents and community members play a vital role in helping our students thrive. Getting involved is simple – follow these steps to start making a difference!
Step 1: Fill Out An Application
Please choose from the options below to download and print out a paper version of the volunteer application, or complete the application online. It is composed of several questions designed to get to know a little more about you and your volunteer skills and interests.
Step 2: Complete Your Background Check
After the completion of your volunteer application, you are asked to email [email protected]. Let them know you have completed your application and in which format, and that you are ready for the next step in becoming a volunteer at EVCA! They will supply you with an ORI# that you will take to any fingerprinting location of your choice. There, you will be asked for the ORI# and this process will ensure the results will come straight to us, usually within 48h. Most fingerprinting locations require online appointments made in advance. *Note: volunteers are asked to pay for their background check individually, and the results will remain active for two years. We believe financial constraints should never stand in the way of getting involved. If you need assistance covering the background check fee, please reach out to us in confidence at [email protected].
Step 3: Complete Your Volunteer Training
Attend a class that we provide in-person on EVCA campus to complete PED required trainings, and to discuss expectations of all volunteers. Classes are offered as needed, and are the last step to complete before volunteering in person. Please reach out to [email protected] to find out the next upcoming volunteer training.
Step 4: Volunteer At EVCA!
