Join a team of caring adults who are supporting San Francisco students in meaningful ways. The San Francisco Education Fund matches vetted volunteers with local teachers and students to support in the classroom for one hour a week.
We are not taking any more volunteers for the 2024-25 school year. We will begin taking more applicants and providing volunteer trainings in August 2025. If you’re interested in volunteering next school year, please fill out this form and you’ll receive the 25-26 volunteer application in July 2025.
The SF Ed Fund coordinators will also guide volunteers to pass a background check and provide proof that you have tested negative for tuberculosis as part of the school district’s requirements.
You will receive training on how to best engage with students and/or teachers and have a chance to ask any questions on your mind. For aspiring tutors for the literacy, math, and mindfulness programs, there will be additional training that provide guidance around session planning, activities, and effective practices. Volunteers will sign up for a training while applying.
Each volunteer has a point person coordinator from the SF Ed Fund who will provide ongoing support and check-ins. Before you get started, our coordinators will match you with the right opportunity based on if you are volunteering for literacy or math programs, mindfulness program, mentoring, or general classroom support.
You will have a chance to become part of a larger community of volunteers who care deeply about San Francisco public schools.
