About Us

Cottonwood ALC is an independent, nonprofit, school for self-directed learners in Helena, Montana. You can think of us as a modern one-room schoolhouse infused with the flexibility of a co-working space. Cottonwood is a space where kids are free to learn and encouraged to share and explore the subjects they are passionate about.

Background Screening Requirement

In order to be a volunteer or employee with Cottonwood ALC, an organization affiliated with the National Council of Nonprofits or one of their State Associations, each candidate is required to have a criminal background check completed prior to beginning their service.

Cottonwood ALC, as a nonprofit organization, typically incurs the cost of all background checks conducted on our volunteers.

If you would like to help us dedicate more of our limited funds to supporting our mission, please consider paying for your volunteer background check via your personal credit card (speak with your Cottonwood ALC administrator if you have any questions).

By self-purchasing your volunteer background check, you will help us provide additional services to those in need.

We are grateful for the support of our volunteers and appreciate your consideration of this offer.
