At this time, we are offering HYBRID programming and Salesforce has approved both off-site in-person and remote virtual volunteering. If volunteers are not comfortable visiting schools in-person, we can accommodate with virtual/remote events. Salesforce guidelines are updated often and we will stay up-to-date via Brenda Martinez, Program Manager II, Education Initiatives | Salesforce.

Field trips are NOT yet approved at this time.

Sign Up to Volunteer

Step 1: Register as a Volunteer for In-Person Service

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR IN-PERSON SERVICE: All in-person Oakland School Volunteers must register with our organization ahead of volunteer service – including one-time/special-event volunteers. California Ed Code requires that certain health and safety requirements are met before visiting a school campus. Please prepare to submit a photo or scan of your COVID-19 vaccine as well as sign a waiver acknowledging the risks of in-person service as we safely reopen schools. We prioritize your privacy and safety online. All information is secured and backed up on our database and we do not share any information externally. REGISTER TODAY!

PLEASE NOTE: If you only plan to volunteer virtually, this step is not required.

Step 2: Sign Up for Volunteer Events

Scroll through the list below to find your school. Please only sign up for events planned for your colleagues and partner school.

We will send you additional details once you register and please mark your calendars! Students are counting on you!
