Next 3 Steps to be a BRiLLiANT Book Buddy
Thank you for filling out the application form!
You now have three more steps to be approved. Please read through these carefully and follow the instructions on picking a group, watching the training video, and doing the district background check.
Once these three steps are completed, email us the background check approval. You will also be emailed instructions for your first day once the teacher submits their group details. We hope to get you started soon! Thanks so much for being a volunteer for BBC!

1. Fill out the Group Selection Form
Fill out the Volunteer Group Selection form to pick the school, teacher, and time you would like to meet each week. (You can meet any day of the week with your students.) If you don't see a group you would like to pick, please check back periodically. If you want to have a group with a specific school or teacher that you do not see listed, you can contact them and ask if that school or teacher will be submitting groups for our program. We would love to offer our program to any schools that are interested!

2. Watch the Training Video with the Handbook
Please give your undivided attention to the following 15 minute Training Video and follow along with our Volunteer Handbook to learn how to be BRiLLiANT Book Buddy.
3. Do Background Check through the District and Send Approval to Us
Do the district required background check and let us know when you are approved. (Some districts have already provided their forms for us - buttons below.)
You may need to contact the school to pick up the form if it is not available below. Some schools require you drop off the form in person and have the principal sign it. Some schools allow you to email it to them. Some may even require an ID and may charge a processing fee. Please contact the school to find out what the process is for the school you chose. Each district is different and usually takes a week or more to get the approval back. Follow up with the school about a week after submission to find out about approval. They will not be calling you- you will need to follow up with them. Thanks for your diligence to turn this in and follow up! Email brilliantbookclubs@gmail.com the background check approval. This must be in an email please. Ask the school to send an email stating your approval and then send it to us.
