OUSD Volunteer Application
All volunteers are required to obtain clearance through our district process every school year. Contact the AHES office if you have any issues with the Volunteer Application link. Please ensure that you have pre-arranged volunteer times with the teacher or coordinator of the activity before arriving on campus.
Volunteers who work less than five hours per week must complete the required Keenan Trainings.
Volunteers who work five hours or more per week must complete the required Keenan Trainings, a TB test, and obtain a fingerprint clearance through the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigations. Volunteers are responsible for all associated costs.
Directions for Volunteer Application
Using a desktop or laptop computer you'll access the application link. There will be a few training videos and a quiz. Once those are completed you'll go back to the link and complete all steps, including uploading your quiz and license on step #5, then finishing with step #8. Once these steps are done, your completed application will go to our district office. From here it takes about 5-7 days to come up in our system as cleared. Please reach out to Kim Otellio at the front office (kotellio@orangeusd.org) after the 5-7 days to verify that you're cleared, as she doesn’t get an email confirmation when people are cleared.
After You Are Cleared
Once you have been cleared by the District as a volunteer, you will only be allowed on campus during the times that are designated by your volunteer assignment. Enter through the front office and sign in on the “Volunteer Sign-In/Sign-Out” sheet. The front office staff is required to scan your government-issued ID so that they can print you an ID sticker that must be worn at all times while on campus. This can take a while if there are a lot of people waiting to get on campus (e.g., for a classroom party), so please plan on arriving a little early. When you are ready to leave, leave through the front office and sign out on the same “Volunteer Sign-In/Sign-Out” sheet as when you entered.
