May I begin volunteering once I’ve been approved? You may begin volunteering 24 hours after receiving clearance approval via e-mail (you will be notified of parent volunteer opportunities through the PSO newsletter).

Do I need to bring anything with me to prove I can volunteer?  Your information will automatically be uploaded into the Raptor volunteer database for the campus, or campuses, where you’ve been approved.  However, you are required to bring a valid picture I.D., such as a driver’s license or Military I.D., when you come to volunteer.
