Notice: Background checks are valid for two (2) years.

 

Volunteers

The North Santiam School District (NSSD) recognizes the important role volunteers play in supporting student learning and school programs.  We encourage and appreciate your interest in volunteering. 

To protect our students, all volunteers must complete a background check and be cleared by Human Resources before beginning any volunteer service.  Background checks should be submitted at least two (2) weeks prior to the event or activity.  

Volunteers may not begin working with students until clearance has been confirmed.

For additional information about volunteer opportunities, please contact the school where you are interested in serving.

Volunteer Coaches – Important Information

Individuals serving as volunteer coaches or volunteer assistants for athletic or activity programs are subject to additional requirements beyond the standard volunteer background check.

Volunteer coaches must complete:

• A cleared background check

• Required onboarding forms

• Mandatory safety training

Volunteer coaches may not participate in practices, games, conditioning sessions, or any student contact until fully cleared by Human Resources.
