Volunteer

NOTE: Due to the high number of applications received over the summer months the review/approval process may take several weeks. All applications will be processed in the order they are received.

Once your application is "Complete" the Issaquah School District will run a Washington State Background check. Pending a satisfactory background check report you will receive a confirmation email from the system letting you know you've been approved, at which point you will be clear to volunteer during the current school year. Please allow up to three weeks for processing.

Log in to your existing account then click on the "my Checklist" tab. Near the bottom of the page is a box titled "Event" you will see your approval status. Approved volunteers will read "Approved to Volunteer" the date shown is your current expiry date.

Not quite yet. Once your application is "Complete" you will receive an email from the system letting you know you've finished your application, at which point we will begin the background check process. Pending a satisfactory report you will receive an email from the system letting you know you've been approved. This process may take up to a week.

If it has been over a week and you have not received an email please check your Junk/Spam folders as volunteer emails are often filtered into these without our knowledge. If you are unable to locate the email please touch base with your building or email volunteers@issaquah.wednet.edu.

Yes. However, if you are unable to provide a driver's license we are glad to accept other forms of unexpired picture ID (such as a Passport or Military ID Card). The photo ID is mandatory, your application cannot be approved without it.

No, unfortunately we are unable to process applications for individuals who are under the age of 18. Please go directly to the building you are interested in volunteering at and pickup an application packet.

In place of a Social Security number please use the month and date of your birthday (example: May 5th would be "0505"). We will still require unexpired photo identification with your name, birthday and photo fully visible. Pending a satisfactory background check you are more than welcome to volunteer without a Social Security number.

In order to volunteer you will need to contact any building/program you are interested in volunteering for individually. Each building/program maintains its own volunteer schedule.

Click the "My Checklist" tab, then "My Uploads". To view the ID you previously uploaded click on the document title as shown below.

*Note: When asked to verify your photo identification please ensure your ID is unexpired with your name, birthday and photo fully visible. If these criteria are not met we may remove the file and ask you to submit another form of identification.

First, please try signing in to the HRM volunteer portal from a different web browser, often this solves the issue. If you are unable to upload your ID from another browser you are welcome to e-mail a copy to Volunteers@issaquah.wednet.edu. We will upload the identification on your behalf.
