Green Schools Quest participation grows every year. In the case that we have more schools than mentors, would you be comfortable participating without a mentor?

We feel confident participating without a mentor. We prefer working with a mentor, though we are open to participating without one. We are happy to recruit our own mentor (such as a parent, partner, community member.) Please provide us with a mentor!
Does your school have a procedure in place to ensure volunteers that spend unsupervised time with students have completed the appropriate background check?

Yes No
