Volunteer Information
The teachers, students and staff at Northwest ISD achieve many accomplishments throughout any given school year. Many of these accomplishments would be impossible without the dedication of the volunteers who sacrifice their valuable time and efforts in support of Northwest ISD. We constantly strive to develop and maintain a culture that promotes volunteerism within our district and campuses. This year we have more than 9,000 registered volunteers helping within the walls of our classrooms and campuses.
Volunteers help our classroom teachers by allowing them to focus on what is most important, TEACHING!
Step 1:
Background checks must be completed annually to ensure the district has updated information on the volunteers in their schools. Please note that a background check can take up to 72 hours or more to be processed and cannot be done on the spot at the campus.
At the end of the orientation, you will be required to answer a few questions to prove completion of the NISD Volunteer 101 Training. Orientation must be completed on an annual basis and will expire one year after your questionnaire is submitted.
Step 3:
Once you have:
- Completed the volunteer application and received an approval email
- Reviewed the Volunteer 101 Orientation and completed the questionnaire
You are ready!
