If you already have a volunteer account, log in at myimpactpage.com, select the opportunity you are interested in and sign up.
Remember, volunteering in the classroom and going on field trips requires a criminal background check. Complete Step 2 if you plan on this type of volunteerism. They do take time to process so please plan ahead.
