How to Become a Volunteer

  • Are you interested in volunteering at one of our District Schools?

    When thinking about volunteering, it is good to know:

    • The age group you prefer to work with (Elementary, Middle, or High School).
    • The location where you would prefer to volunteer.

    Once you decide on a school, ask to speak to the school’s Volunteer Coordinator and let him/her know what you would like to do and the day(s) and time(s) you will be available to volunteer. The Volunteer Coordinator will try to work with your schedule. The Volunteer Coordinator will also provide orientation, any necessary training for your assignment, and training on the Volunteer Management system. The orientation and training must be completed before volunteering at any District School Site.

    School Safety

    • All public schools will use a Volunteer Management Tracking System.
    • The Volunteer Management Tracking System will be used for background clearance, application completion, and recording volunteer hours.
    • Volunteers MUST sign in and out when entering and leaving at any Palm Beach County School.

    Before Volunteering at the School

    • Complete a Volunteer Application.
      • On the application, select only the schools where you will be volunteering.
    • Have your Government Issues ID scanned through the Raptor system.
    • Complete District Volunteer Training and Orientation 
      (The Volunteer Coordinator will provide the training.)

    Volunteering at the School

    Every time you volunteer, you must sign in and out using the Volunteer Kiosk or at the front desk in the school's main office. Questions should be directed to the school’s Volunteer Coordinator.

    Your encouragement, patience, and self-esteem boost are critically important to our students. The intrinsic value of your volunteering is immeasurable. You are a difference-maker!

    We thank you for your time and support and look forward to seeing you soon!
