Job description

VOLUNTEER | SCHOOL DAY
Volunteers are identified as individuals who are approved by the district to assist in the work in the district and serve without compensation at a school or other district site.

 

Except as otherwise approved by the superintendent or designee, volunteers in Everett Public Schools must be at least 18 years of age with the exception of Evertt Public Schools' students whose volunteer work is at a school or district sanctioned activity or a component of their learning as a student. (Everett Public School students do not need to complete the volunteer application.)

 

Former students of Everett Public Schools may volunteer in schools but are not permitted to volunteer at the high school they attended until they reach 21 years of age.  Former students now in college and under the age of 21 may be volunteer tutors in AVID classrooms at their alma mater.

 

A volunteer works under the direction and supervision of a district staff member and will be given specific instructions and necessary materials for assignments or tasks he/she undertakes.

 

A volunteer is not a substitute for a staff member, but one supplying supplemental and supportive services.

 

This application is for those interested in service as a School Day Volunteer. School Day Volunteers are volunteers who work in close proximity of district employees.  Volunteer activities may include reading or math tutor, classroom helper, day field trip chaperone, library helper, or Watch D.O.G.S.

 

If you are interested in serving as an overnight chaperone, volunteer club advisor, or program booster, please apply as a "Volunteer | Extended Support"; or if interested in serving as a volunteer athletic coach, please apply as "Volunteer | Athletic Coach."
