Online Volunteer Registration

Most school districts in California have implemented online systems to facilitate registration (for volunteers) and processing (for staff). Online systems allow you to upload your documents and choose the sites at which you want to volunteer in just a few minutes.

In addition:

• Arbiter has dedicated tech support for those who need support creating, activating, or logging into their acounts
• The registration is available in eight languages, which will make it easier for more parents and guardians to volunteeer
• The system has built-in tracking and reminders so volunteers know when important documents are expiring and need to be updated.

Yes, everyone who wants to volunteer will need to register online, even if they have registered and been approved in the past.  

TB Test: California Education Code, Section 49406, and California Health and Safety Code, Section 121545, require persons volunteering with frequent or prolonged contact with pupils to produce evidence of a clear TB test or risk assessment every four (4) years. This record must be uploaded to your Volunteer Registration for processing and approval, and you may use the assessment form provided in the application and have completed with your primary doctor.

Live Scan: If you have completed a Live Scan specifically for Alameda USD in the past, you do not need to complete another. You may select that you have this record on file. For employees of AUSD who choose to volunteer in a personal capacity, you may select that option to allow HR verification of this record.
