Volunteer Support Fund (VSF) Information:
  • VSF will reimburse childcare at a rate of $5.00 per hour per child, up to $150.00 a month. This "up to" $150.00 reimbursement is per volunteer, not per child
  • If childcare costs exceed $150, the volunteer is responsible for the extra cost incurred
  • Caregivers must be 13 years or older
  • Caregivers may not be in your immediate family ( e.i. spouse, grandparents, aunt, uncle or other children)
  • Monthly reimbursement limit is for work at all the agencies combined
  • The VSF pays for childcare through direct reimbursement for home childcare, off post preschools or indirectly through the CDC
  • Vouchers Must be turned in NLT the last day of the month childcare is used
  • VSF Childcare Reimbursement Voucher must be presented to the CDC the actual day signed and applied to that day the child was in CDC school. It can't be applied to a different day or time.
