Our goal is to assemble a diverse team of school volunteers that reflects the demographics of SFUSD’s student population. Knowing who our volunteers are helps us work toward that goal.

• Bring a positive and enthusiastic attitude when working with students.
• Share in the belief that all students have the ability to achieve & recognize young people as partners.
• Demonstrate patience with challenges & be respectful of a student's abilities.
• Always be a role model in actions, words and dress.
• Respect school/classroom rules, policies and cultures.
• Only go to the school on scheduled days, sign in at the main office and always wear or show my volunteer badge.
• Arrive on time for each session & notify the Program Coordinator and/or teacher in advance about absences or tardiness.
• Spend scheduled time with the students doing site-approved and/or assigned activities. I will work in the classroom, hallway or library and understand that I should not be alone with students.
• Use only bathroom facilities approved for adults.
  

• Attend a training, provide required documentation, and clear a fingerprint background check and TB screening
• Volunteer my services through the Education Fund. I understand that I am not an employee of the organization, that my volunteerism is "at-will" and as such may be terminated at any time without cause or advanced notice. 
• Volunteer at least one hour per week for a minimum of one school year. 
• Volunteer under the direction and supervision of certified SFUSD personnel at all times. 
• Behave appropriately with students including maintaining appropriate physical boundaries at all times, and never purposefully endanger a student. 
• Regard all information received in the performance of my volunteer work for the Education Fund as confidential. 
• Pass on knowledge or a suspicion of student abuse to an appropriate SFUSD and Education Fund staff member(s).
