How to become a volunteer
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, you will need to visit the BAM website: Be A Mentor. 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.  Your information will then be forwarded to the selected school(s)/program(s) (e.g., PYA, Stagg, Preschool).  The BAM coordinator from the site/program will review and approve your application to volunteer. 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.

***Parents should always be afforded an opportunity to volunteer pursuant to Education Code §51100.  However, a site/program can limit volunteer opportunities (e.g., not everyone can volunteer as a football coach; not everyone can volunteer on a field trip; etc.). Additionally, a parent wanting to visit their student’s classroom does not need to be processed as a volunteer and can make arrangements at the school.  The volunteer program is designed for recurring involvement in the District, school, or program.
