Volunteers are the heart of our PTA! In San Bruno—the City with a Heart—we believe strong communities are built by people who care. Whether you have an hour, a day, or can volunteer throughout the year, there's a place for you at John Muir PTA. From classrooms and school events to photography, graphic design, website support, and other Community Contributor roles, every volunteer helps make our Jaguar community stronger.
Explore some of the opportunities below, and if you’d like more information or have ideas of your own, we’d love to hear from you! Email us at info@johnmuirpta.org.

VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS
To help keep our students safe, all volunteers who may be left unsupervised with students must complete district paperwork and pass a Live Scan background check.
Good news! Once you're approved, you do not need to repeat this process each year.
Please note:
A background check is required even if you've been screened by another organization.
The cost of the Live Scan is the responsibility of the volunteer and is typically most affordable at a UPS Store.
✅ Next Steps
Complete the required paperwork below.
Bring your paperwork with you to your Live Scan appointment.
Return all completed paperwork to either the District Office or John Muir's office.
Complete required trainings annually.
