Please notify staff when you submit your paperwork if you would like to participate in a group session.

What is a Volunteer?

A volunteer is any caring adult in the student’s life or a member of our local community who willingly and freely gives their time, regardless of frequency and duration, to support educational programs. Morgan Hill Unified values volunteers and the positive contributions they make to our schools and programs.

Volunteer opportunities may fall into any of the following categories:

• Ongoing: Volunteering for any school program regularly in any capacity

• As-needed: Volunteering on school grounds, in the office, or in the classroom one time or intermittently

• Face-to-face: Volunteering with direct contact with students, either under the supervision of an employee or, at times, as the sole adult supervising students (i.e., during a field trip, going to the library, leading a club, etc.) 

• School-sponsored trips: Athletics, Band, field trips, science camp, etc. either as a driver or as a chaperone
