FAQs

  • It takes three simple steps to become a volunteer!
    Step 1: Review the Volunteer Training Information
    For the safety of our students, all volunteer applicants are required to review the mandatory volunteer training information before completing the volunteer application.
    Step 2: Volunteer Application & Criminal Records Check
    Again, to safeguard the safety and well-being our students and staff, each prospective volunteer must complete an application through our districtwide volunteer management system called Raptor and then submit to an Oregon criminal records check. You'll receive a confirmation email as soon as the application has been approved.
    Step 3: Volunteer
    ▶ Parent Volunteer
    Look for activity sign-up & volunteer information in ParentSquare.
    ▶ Community Volunteer
    Please visit our Join Community Groups webpage to sign up to receive information about volunteer opportunities.

  • You'll need to resubmit your application every two years. At that time, another criminal records check will be conducted. You'll receive an email reminder about 30 days in advance.

  • There is one common application for all volunteers. This application includes a question for applicants to indicate if they are 17 or younger. Volunteers 18 or older should indicate that they are community members. A juvenile offender check will be run for applicants under 18, and an adult check for those 18 and older.
    Only students in grade 6 or above can volunteer at Montclair events. For Montclair students interested in volunteering, contact studentgreenteam@montclairpto.org
