Volunteers for Tyler ISD schools only please note:

Tyler ISD requires persons who intend to serve as a school volunteer with the district to submit to a criminal history check and have an ID badge to be worn while on any campus.

This will have to be done prior to your start date as a Junior Achievement classroom volunteer in any Tyler ISD school. This process may take a week to complete, so allow time to get this done before you start your visits.

When you have read the Conduct Standards below and submitted this form, please go back to the main page of JA Tyler website and click the link ( Tyler ISD volunteers also go HERE ).

Tyler ISD Volunteer Applications are processed on Tuesday and Wednesday each week.

That gives you instructions and a link to the Tyler ISD website. Call JA at 903-581-7482 if you have any questions about this.

Conduct Standards

Please read the Volunteer Conduct Standards below and print the linked document for your records. All volunteers must agree and abide by these standards. Please select the applicable button to complete your registration.

VOLUNTEER CONDUCT STANDARDS Each year Junior Achievement staff shall convey these standards in writing to all volunteers prior to their first visit to the classroom. Staff shall review these standards verbally, as well, with volunteers teaching for the first time. Junior Achievement serves youth. Our volunteers teach valuable lessons with each word and especially with their conduct. Adult misconduct with youth carries serious consequences. Because Junior Achievement cares that its volunteers have healthy relationships with the youth they serve, it has established these standards. 1. Young people look to adults for examples of appropriate behavior. JA volunteers must use appropriate language and model honorable behavior, such as respect, integrity, honesty, and excellence. Profanity or sexualized language or jokes is inappropriate around students. Violating state law regarding interactions with youth, e.g., providing them alcohol or illegal drugs, is forbidden. 2. Volunteers must take particular care when touching youth. Most people understand the difference between appropriate touching, like a handshake or pat on the back, and touching which is sexual or disrespectful. Volunteers must also consider how any physical contact may be perceived. 3. Interactions with students must both be appropriate and appear appropriate. Volunteers will spend most time with groups of students, although occasionally one-to-one situations may occur. Prior to any one-to-one interaction, a JA volunteer generally should ensure another adult is present or aware of the situation. Favoritism, or the appearance of favoritism, should be avoided. 4. Volunteers are responsible for the quality of interactions. Students often find it difficult to state discomfort or objections. Volunteers must be especially sensitive to physical and verbal cues that youth provide. These are examples only, not a comprehensive list. Other actions not listed could result in suspension or dismissal as a volunteer. Junior Achievement takes all complaints of misconduct seriously. Credible allegations of misconduct will be promptly investigated by the appropriate authorities. During any such investigation, the JA volunteer will be placed on leave. If an investigation determines misconduct occurred, it will result in the immediate and permanent dismissal as a JA volunteer. Any JA staff member or volunteer who reasonably suspects misconduct must report these suspicions immediately to the appropriate JA staff person at the local office. I have received a copy of Junior Achievement's Volunteer Conduct Standards and have read, understand, and will abide by these standards. By selecting "I agree" below, I hereby certify that I have never been charged with a crime of violence or a crime involving a child or young person, or, if I have, that I have fully disclosed in writing the facts regarding such a charge to the local Junior Achievement office.

If I encounter circumstances that will jeopardize or prohibit my ability to complete the Junior Achievement program, I agree to inform Junior Achievement immediately.*
