You cannot have been a regular employee of the specific school district within six months nor can you serve in a school in which a relative of yours works. There is no minimum education requirement. NSCC members have diverse educational backgrounds. The NSCC checks all members for a criminal background and history of child abuse. Depending on the circumstances, the existence of a criminal record or an indication of child abuse may disqualify you from consideration.
All candidates complete an application.
Applicants who successfully complete the first interview become finalists and are tentatively assigned to a school based on their interests, skills and the age group with which they prefer to work. Finalists will have a second interview at the school with the NSCC team leader and school staff. Successful finalists are accepted as NSCC members. In keeping with the spirit of service, members often serve additional hours each week. All members who do not have access to health insurance may enrolled in the NSCC's health insurance plan.
