Time & Talent

Rainier Christian Schools values modeling. A theme traced to the book of Proverbs shows lessons for children are more often caught than taught.  Modeling who we want our children to be is more powerful than merely telling them what we want. With that in mind, each family is required to volunteer 15 hours per year. Traditional ways to volunteer to support our annual events are always welcomed. However, the Lord knit individuals together according to His purposes.  Let us know about your talent by using the contact form below. Families who are unable to volunteer can exchange time for $25/hr or a total of $375 per year.

Time & Talent Guidelines

Term:
  - July 1 to the last day of school (around June 15)
  - 15 hours per K-12 family 
  - Billing for unfulfilled hours occurs at the end of June 

Participants: Any adult member of the family may participate, e.g., uncles, aunts, and grandparents.

Background Check: We require WSP background checks for any adult member that would like to volunteer every year. You can pick up a copy of the application at the school office. Your application must be submitted in-person as we are required to verify and photocopy your state identification.   DOWNLOAD a WSP FORM

Reporting Hours: Please report your hours within the same week in order for us to verify your hours accurately. Please submit the hours per event/activity. Any hours submitted after the quarter will not be counted.

Item Purchasing: In lieu of volunteering, purchasing needed/requested supplies for the schools is accepted. Each $25 in value converts into one hour of volunteer service. Please check with your school office for pre-approval and do not drop off unsolicited items.
