Lend a Helping Hand!

Bainbridge Island School District is fortunate to have an active and dedicated group of volunteers who help out in our classrooms, on field trips and with various activities and sports.

Plan ahead: Before volunteering in any capacity, volunteers must first be cleared. This process can take up to two weeks, so please plan ahead. During especially busy months (historically, September, October and May receive high volumes of applications), it may even take longer to process your application.

Renewing your volunteer status? You need to complete the same steps below.

Steps to Become an Active Volunteer

Complete the online volunteer application. Please do NOT use the web browser Firefox when completing the online application as it isn’t always compatible with Google Forms.
Upload a photo of your valid state ID to the online volunteer application. We are unable to process passports or IDs not issued by a US state.
If you are volunteering as a driver or an overnight chaperone, please be sure and complete the additional required sections in the application.
By volunteering, you authorize Bainbridge Island School District and its affiliates to screen you through the Washington State Patrol, as well as other reference checks as needed. Certain Volunteer positions, such as Overnight Chaperone and Volunteer Coach will require fingerprinting through select locations with licensing software through OSPI.

After You Apply

Once the above steps are completed, the BISD Human Resources Department will do a background check and process your application. Once cleared, volunteer terms are valid for two years. Please plan ahead! It can take up to two-three weeks for volunteer applications to be approved.

Wondering if your volunteer term is active? Contact the office manager at your student’s school. Questions about the volunteer approval process? Email the volunteer office.

Thank you for making a positive impact on the lives of our students!
