VOLUNTEER TO SHOP (VTS)
Teachers from accredited K-12 schools in our service area that do not meet our eligibility criteria are able to participate in the Volunteer to Shop (VTS) program.
To be eligible for VTS, individuals must be full-time certified Kâ12 teachers in one of the 16 counties served by Crayons to Computers. (Sorry we are currently unable to have childcare providers or centers participate in VTS.)
For each volunteer shift, teachers earn a certificate for one shopping trip in our Teacher Resource Store.
Teachers may earn up to 10 shopping trips through VTS throughout the school year.
NEW: Beginning with the 2021-22 school year, Crayons will implement a shopper access fee. This one-time fee will apply to VTS participants as well. For more information on the access fee, click HERE.
The one-time VTS access fee is $25 and needs to be paid prior to your shopping trip in the Teacher Store.

We will do our best to verify and help you redeem your certificate.
