Volunteer Your Time

Volunteers play a vital role in the success of our school district.
Below are just a few of the many ways volunteers can make a meaningful impact by supporting our students, teachers, and schools:

  • Reading to and listening to students read
  • Working on Math problems with a student
  • Chaperone programs, field trips, school activities both during the school day and sometimes in the evening
  • Help decorate the classroom for various themes, seasons and holidays
  • Volunteer in the Media Center
  • Help with Physical Education activities, Music and Art classes
  • Assist in the front office

At Charlotte County Public Schools, we believe that families and the community are essential partners in the educational experience.

To ensure a safe and secure learning environment for all students, individuals interested in volunteering must complete a volunteer application at the school where they wish to serve. As part of the approval process, all applicants are screened through the Florida Sexual Offenders and Predators'  database to confirm they have not been convicted of any sexually related offenses before being assigned to a volunteer position.

 

Three Types of Volunteers

Level 1 Volunteer

Level 1 Volunteer status is for non-employees that will be around students with a CCPS employee present at all times. Examples are a guest speaker, a dance chaperone, or helping at the school carnival. .  If you would like to volunteer at a CCPS school, fill out the application below and drop it off at the school/s you would like to volunteer.

 

 

Level 2 Volunteer

Level 2 Volunteer status is for non-employees that will be alone with students while not under the direct supervision of a CCPS employee. Examples are a fieldtrip chaperone, overnight sporting trip, or a volunteer coach. These employees need to be fingerprinted and pass a background check. 

Resiliency Coach

Building resiliency in children and families is a top priority of the Florida Department of Education. Resiliency Coaches are trusted volunteers who are trained to support children as they build resiliency to face day-to-day challenges. Parents, grandparents, school volunteers and mentors, with a current Level 2 background screening, are eligible to become a Resiliency Coach. 

As a Resiliency Coach, you will serve as a trusted volunteer, helping students navigate challenges and build the resilience needed for success. 

 Steps to become a Resiliency Coach are: 
✔ Current background screening requirements with our school district (Level 2) 
✔ Complete an online training (approximately 1 hour) 
✔ Participate in a 4-hour volunteer practicum and submit a Final Survey  

By completing these, you will be eligible to receive a $150 stipend.
