1) go to: http://www.beamentor.org/linkpages/mentorasp/specialprojects/wccusd/
2) Scroll down to General School Volunteers. Click on that
3) Browse for a Volunteering Project. Select schools. Select Madera
4) Select how you will volunteer
5) Click next
You should now see the 2 red boxes.
Thank you for your service! You make the Madera community strong!

What if you want to be able to volunteer in the classroom and be a field trip driver/chaperone? Which category should one choose? Does one of the school volunteer categories encompass the other? I.e., can a “general school volunteer” also be a driver and/or vice versa?
I would go with ‘general school volunteer’… I believe the requirement to be a field trip driver is the same volunteer badge (and a driver’s license, if you’re driving, of course!) Just to be sure, you can call the WCCUSD Community Engagement Office at (510) 307-4526.
