Bottenfield Elementary

About Our Volunteers

Volunteers are welcomed at all Unit 4 schools. Each year over 1,000 volunteers donate over 15,000 hours of time to our schools: tutoring, mentoring, or assisting in classrooms. Public school districts cannot succeed in their mission without the dedication and support of the many volunteers who work in our classrooms. We are grateful for the caring and commitment of our volunteers and can honestly say, we can't do it without YOU! 

What must I do to become a volunteer?

All regular volunteers (one hour a week or more) will be required to:

• Download and fill out a volunteer application | Español
• Pass a background check
• Sign in and wear a nametag when you're in the school building
• Attend an orientation/training session at the school site.

Where Can I Volunteer?

Please contact the volunteer coordinator at the school where you would like to volunteer. The school coordinator will explain opportunities available at the school.
