Parent Volunteer Program

Our Parent Volunteer Program is designed to provide volunteer support for each campus and help keep tuition increases to a minimum. There are two options for fulfilling this requirement, one of which you selected during the enrollment process.  

For questions regarding the Volunteer Process, please contact: Janine Louw at jlouw@horizonchristian.school.

Each family is asked to contribute a minimum of 20 volunteer hours each year, regardless of the number of students. Hours may be completed by parents, guardians, grandparents, or other approved family members, and are combined toward the family’s total.

All volunteers must be approved at least two weeks before volunteering or transporting students.
Families are responsible for completing and recording their 20 combined hours by June 1, 2026.
Any unfilled hours will be prorated against the $200 volunteer fee. If applicable, the charge will appear on your June FACTS statement.

Families may choose to pay a $200 volunteer fee, in place of completing the 20 volunteer hours.

This fee will be added to your tuition amount, and amortized throughout the year.
Even if you choose to pay the fee, you are still welcome to volunteer at any time during the year; however, you must complete the applicable New or Returning Volunteer Form.
If you initially choose this option but later decide to switch to completing volunteer hours instead, please note that the $200 volunteer fee is non-refundable, and the applicable New or Returning Volunteer Form is still required.


All volunteers must complete a form before helping on campus or transporting students. To get started, choose the option below that applies to you (either a new or returning volunteer) and fill out the appropriate form. You’ll also find information below on how to log your volunteer hours throughout the year.

Please complete the above form before volunteering.

Submission deadline: August 18, 2025 (or within 30 days if enrolling after July 1. 2025).
Late submissions: A $200 fee will apply to forms which are submitted after the deadline, or if you decide not to volunteer.
Volunteering after the deadline: You may still volunteer, but the $200 fee is non-refundable, and a New Volunteer Form is required.
