In order to serve volunteer hours at LCS, all volunteers must complete the child safety protocol, which includes passing a background check. Raptor is our third-party background check website. Once you have completed this process and are cleared, you will be welcome to volunteer at LCS.

Background checks can be completed by visiting www.lenawee.org/vsp and following the step-by-step instructions provided. Raptor Technologies runs our background checks. Once you submit your information to Raptor, they will run your background check, notify you if you passed, and will reach out to you directly via email with instructions to set up a Raptor account.

When you set up your Raptor account, you will be asked to select “functions” of interest. Functions are areas where you are interested in serving LCS. For example, “athletics” is a function and should be selected if you are interested in future service at athletic competitions.

Volunteer opportunities will be listed on our website at XXXXXXXX. Volunteers can sign up for service opportunities through the links listed on the page.

Occasionally, Department Heads will also email opportunities or urgent volunteer needs directly to lists of individuals who have shown interest in specific functions. For example, if you indicated that you are interested in the function of “Athletics”, you may receive an email from the Athletic Director with an urgent last minute volunteer request for an upcoming game. This email will include a link for volunteers to sign up through Signup Genius.

Families are required to complete 20 hours of service combined from the 23/24 school year and the 24/25 school year.

Any extra hours served at the end of the 24/25 academic year cannot be carried over to the following school year.

Individuals must log in and record their own hours in Raptor using the honor system. Only those service opportunities listed through Raptor and Signup Genius will count towards VSP requirements. To add your completed hours, select “Add Hours”, and complete the Hours Details. Indicating your service in the “Notes”, is helpful if you are able.

If you would like approval for service hours not listed on our website (through Raptor or Signup Genius), please email your request to vsp@lenawee.org, and administration will approve or deny your hours.
