District Volunteer Application

If you do not have a current active registration and need to register as a Level 1, 2 or 3 volunteer, please complete and submit this application. If you do not know if your registration is still valid, please log in to your Raptor Portal account or contact Volunteer Services to check. Volunteer registration is valid for two years.

*Note: Parents, if you are filling out an application for your student, please fill out the application with the student's information (Name, Date of Birth, etc.).

**Note: ANY VOLUNTEER WHO WILL BE A CHAPERONE ON AN OVERNIGHT TRIP OR WHO MAY HAVE ACCESS TO A LOCKER ROOM IS NOW REQUIRED TO COMPLETE A LEVEL 3 BACKGROUND CHECK

Important to successfully processing your registration:

* Legal Name: Required. The information you enter on the application must match your government issued identification card including your full legal name. If the name on your ID does not match the name on your application, the system will not be able to sign you in.

* Email address: You must provide a valid email address not used on a previously submitted volunteer application in order to create your Volunteer Portal account, to be notified as to the status of your application, and for future communications from our volunteer coordinators. If you are unable to provide an email address, enter the school volunteer coordinator's email address (see website https://www.martinschools.org/Page/440 for a list of volunteer coordinator email addresses).

* Self-Disclosure: The volunteer application requires that the applicant disclose if s/he has ever been convicted or had adjudication withheld in a criminal offense, other than a minor traffic violation, or if any criminal charges are pending. For purposes of this policy, "convicted" means there has been a determination of guilt as a result of a trial or the entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, regardless of whether adjudication is withheld. (F.S. 943.0435).

An applicant who is found through background screening to be included in the FDLE sexual offender/predator registry OR who has been convicted of any crime involving moral turpitude, as defined by rule of the State Board of Education (i.e. a felony or first degree misdemeanor under Florida law), OR otherwise found ineligible using this criteria under F.S. 1012.315, MUST NOT be approved as a volunteer.  Please include any information on the next page in the Self-Disclosure response field.  Further information concerning these matters may be requested.  Failure to timely comply with any request will result in the denial of a volunteer application.

Once your application is approved, you will receive an email confirmation.  

- Level 2 Volunteer status: If you are registering for Level 2 Volunteer status, you will receive an email with a link to pay for your background screening.

- Level 3 Volunteer status: If you are registering for Level 3 Volunteer status, you will receive an email with a link to pay for your background screening and request to make an appointment for fingerprinting.

Please contact your school volunteer coordinator of the Volunteer Services Liaison if you have any questions or concerns.  Thank you for registering to volunteer with the Martin County School District. We look forward to having you volunteer!
