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!
*If the form is blocked, please try using another computer or phone to access it.
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 - see buttons below.) Our volunteers must comply with the volunteer rules of their chosen district before becoming a Book Buddy. If there is not a background check required, you must submit a background check for BBC. Please contact us for details.
District Required Background Checks:
1. Contact the school you chose to find out what the background check process is for their district. Each district is different and usually takes a week or more to get the approval back.
3. 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.
