Volunteer Information

Here’s What You Need to Know About Volunteering — and When a Badge Is Required

At South CTA, we welcome all parent and community volunteers. Some opportunities require a CCSD badge, while others do not. Here’s how to tell the difference:

No Badge Required

You can volunteer without a badge if you are:

• Working under direct supervision of a staff member

• Helping with events, check-in tables, or other roles where you're not alone with students

These are great ways to get started if you're new or have limited availability.

Badge Required

A CCSD volunteer badge is required if you will:

• Be alone with students (even briefly)

• Chaperone field trips

• Volunteer on a regular basis (4+ times/month)

• Mentor or support classrooms unsupervised

To get badged, follow the steps below. The process includes a background check and fingerprinting and can take up to 50 days.
