How to become a volunteer
We are always in high need of volunteers to help around campus, before school, after school, during events, and school field trips!
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, you will need to visit BeAMentor - Stockton.
-
Here you will need to enter your personal information and select the school site(s) and/or program(s) you would like to volunteer with.
Once you are approved by the site/program, you will be referred to the Police Department for a background check, ID badge, and possible fingerprinting.
You will then need to visit the District Police Station to get finger printed, and also visit your doctor to get a recent proof of negative TB test.
Your information will then be forwarded to the school/program you are wanting to volunteer at
