Volunteers & Chaperones

Applications must be submitted five (5) business days prior to your scheduled volunteer date. This gives selected school’s volunteer liaison time to review your application, assign the SafeSchools training course, and process your application once the training has been completed. Same day volunteer applications are NOT accepted.  Once you submit the application, you will receive an email confirmation it has been submitted.  This does not mean you are approved to volunteer.

If you are a first-time volunteer, please complete the volunteer application and send an email to your selected school’s volunteer liaison. Once the application is submitted, you need to complete the 37-minute SafeSchools training course on sexual misconduct: staff to student.  Please note – this training will come from “SafeSchools.”  If you do not receive it within 48 hours, please check your junk mail.  If you still do not see it, please contact your school’s volunteer liaison.  Once you have completed the training course, please email your certificate of completion to your selected school’s volunteer liaison for application approval.  At this time, you are not yet an approved volunteer.  The volunteer liaison still needs to process your application and training certificate.  You will receive an email from “Raptor System” with the subject line “Volunteer Application Approved” once they have done so.  When you receive this email, it will provide you with instructions on how to activate your Volunteer Portal Account.  This email serves as your official approval to begin coming into the building to volunteer.  If you have NOT received the email, please do NOT report to volunteer.

If you are a returning volunteer and have completed the SafeSchools training more than three (3) years you will need to redo the SafeSchools training course.

Is your APS volunteer application pending? Before you can volunteer, you must complete the safe schools training course. Once you have completed the course, please send me a copy of your certificate, once it is complete, I will approve your application. Applications are good for three (3) years. Your username for safe schools is your email address (use the email used on your application & no password needed to login). Here is the link in case you have not received it.

Once you complete the training and your application is approved, you do not need to complete it for any other APS school.
