Parent involvement and community support are vital to the well-being of the Sunnyvale School District and, in particular, to each of our students who benefit from the personal attention that volunteers can offer. On any given day, hundreds of parents/guardians, family members, and community partners volunteer their time, talent, resources, and knowledge on our campuses. Volunteers in our schools enrich the educational program, strengthen our schools’ relationships with the community, and support the District's primary mission of providing every student with a strong foundation of academic, behavioral, and social-emotional skills to prepare them for success in a diverse, challenging and changing world.
Volunteers contribute in areas such as mentoring, tutoring, fundraising, as well as supporting school and classroom events. There are numerous volunteer opportunities within our District and each school site offers a variety of volunteer opportunities.
Getting Started as a Volunteer
In order to be a volunteer, you must complete an online volunteer application, located under the For Families and Family Engagement section on your school's website each school year. The District will then conduct a Megan’s Law background check (per CA Penal code 290).
Completed Volunteer applications are routed to the District Office for final approval. If all the requirements have been met, the Human Resources Department will notify the school site that the volunteer is cleared to begin services. Approval may take up to three (3) weeks. Please plan accordingly, especially if you are volunteering in a situation that would require fingerprinting.
The volunteer application link is listed below. Before you begin your application, please gather the following information:
