* There is a new state ordinance that all volunteers in Oregon schools must provide proof of COVID vaccination or have a medical or religious exception on file. 

Newberg Public Schools welcomes volunteers of all ages. Teaching experience or professional experience is not required. A volunteer’s most important qualification is a genuine interest in helping students succeed.

There are many ways to get involved with your school.  To get started:

Please contact the individual school to learn how you can help students or teachers in the classroom or school. Volunteer opportunities vary from school to school.

All volunteers are required to complete a volunteer screening process which includes a criminal history background check, ID verification, a photo, and providing proof of COVID vaccination or an exception on file (medical or religious). All background checks must be renewed every four years.

Please complete the confidential criminal history application (see below for printable forms).  Along with the criminal background application, please bring proof of COVID vaccination or exception, a signed Statement of Volunteer Confidentiality and Child Abuse Reporting form and a signed Field Trip Chaperone Agreement form to the school district office at 714 E. Sixth in Newberg (all forms linked below or available at the District Office). Your photo will be taken for an identification badge, you will also need to show a valid photo ID. Your Volunteer badge will be sent to the school you will be volunteering at after the background check has been processed and the badge is made. The process may take up to two weeks, check in with the school to see if your badge is finished. 

We do not start the volunteer process until all the steps have been completed by the applicant                

*Please note: To help make our schools a safe place for our students, all visitors and volunteers will need to show picture ID when entering a school and to check in with the office secretary for scanning into RAPTOR.  All volunteers will also need to bring their current volunteer badge.  Thank you.
