New On-Line Volunteer Application Process
Starting this year, it is easier than ever to volunteer in the Issaquah School District. You will register on-line and complete the application once (regardless of how many kids you have in the district). However, you will need to complete the application 48 hours before you are scheduled to volunteer. Potential volunteers who have not completed the application will not be able to volunteer. Please usethis link to begin the application process. Please keep in mind this process will take a little while and includes a volunteer training slideshow and requires you to upload a copy of your drivers license. If you have questions about this process please send an email to this address.
