New Volunteer Training

Completion of a training session is required for all volunteers new to Youth Challenge. Training sessions are offered prior to each program season, but space is limited, so please register early.

Volunteers may choose to complete their training virtually or in person, with sessions offered at various times throughout the year.

Training sessions are led by Youth Challenge staff and are designed to prepare new volunteers to assist participants during activities. Training covers the mission and culture of Youth Challenge, an overview of our participants and their various disabilities, volunteer rules and responsibilities, best practices for working with and adapting activities for participants, the program sign-up process, and more.

Volunteers who select the virtual training option will be given a specific timeframe to complete a series of training videos. A short quiz follows each video and must be passed in order to complete the training.

Once your training registration is received and you select your preference for virtual or in-person training, you will be sent additional details.
