BSV School Support Volunteers Registration

Thank you for lending a hand to Berkeley's public schools!
About School Support Volunteers:
  • BSV School Support Volunteers support events and projects that are not tied to one specific classroom, e.g. school-site food pantries, grocery and other types of deliveries to families and schools, and library, garden and other special projects.
  • Opportunities may include both one-time events and ongoing commitments, allowing volunteers to find what best suits their available time and interests.
  • School Support Volunteers receive regular email alerts about open volunteer opportunities, with links to sign-up. In addition, volunteers can check the frequently updated SSV Volunteer Opportunities page for current listings.
Note: If you are interested in volunteering in a classroom on a regular basis, please apply as a Classroom Volunteer using this form: Classroom Volunteer Application. Learn more about the screening and onboarding criteria on our website. 




Berkeley Schools Volunteers recognizes that name and gender identity are central to most individuals' sense of self and well-being, and that it is important for us to establish systems that acknowledge and support individuals' self-identification.
