Volunteer information

Any applicant interested in volunteering with a school site within the Sequoia Union High School District should begin by contacting the volunteer coordinator at the desired school site. 
 
Please allow 2-3 weeks for volunteer clearance. Volunteer Drivers (Level 3) processing and clearance typically takes 3-4 weeks. Please plan accordingly.
 
Requirements & Resources
  • Returning volunteers must reapply every school year to keep active status. Returning volunteers re-applying within the year do not need to repeat the live scan process.
  • To receive an update on your clearance status, please contact your school site’s Volunteer Coordinator.
  • Frequently asked questions regarding volunteering– including live scan process, TB testing, and volunteer & parent drivers.
