Volunteer

We want YOU!

The Board recognizes the valuable contributions that school system volunteers, including parents, community members, and representatives of local business and industry, make to the learning process and educational goals of the school system. School system volunteers include “school volunteers” who work with or in proximity to students and other volunteers (such as members of task forces or advisory committees) who provide services, guidance, or support to school system staff or members of the Board of Education.  Instructional and extracurricular programs are directly enhanced through the contributions of school volunteers, and input from volunteers serving in advisory roles helps inform sound policies and decisions by district administration and the Board of Education. All school system volunteers contribute time, resources, and expertise that assist the school system to reach the goal of providing a sound basic education to all children, and their efforts are greatly appreciated. The Superintendent and designees are responsible for implementing and supervising school volunteer programs. Please refer to Policy Code: 5015 School System Volunteers.

We use the volunteer management program called Volunteer Tracker. School system volunteers include “school volunteers” who work with or in proximity to students and other volunteers (such as members of task forces or advisory committees) should apply. 

Volunteer Tracker is a web-based app that provides many benefits over the former process. Volunteers will be able to select the schools they wish to serve, as well as the specific activities that they would like to participate in at those schools. They can also track their hours of service! In the recent past, volunteers have spent an overwhelming number of hours serving in our schools. So, even if you may have been volunteering for many years in OCS, you are required to register in the new Orange County School District Volunteer Tracker!

*Please note that all volunteers in OCS will be subject to appropriate criminal background checks.

Don’t delay! Register to become a volunteer today!
