BRAVO Volunteers
The Glendale School District is passionate about Building Relationships and Volunteer Opportunities (BRAVO). We encourage parents and members of the community who want to make a difference in the lives of children and offer valuable support to educators to apply to become a volunteer with GESD. Volunteers are appreciated and welcome in all of our schools.
GESD VALUES OUR VOLUNTEERS!

What type of photo ID is acceptable?
Any current government issued photo ID is acceptable. This includes government issued photo IDs from other countries.
Why do you need my social security number?

What if I have a fingerprint clearance card?
An IVP fingerprint clearance card is accepted in lieu of being fingerprinted by GESD staff. It must be current and must be presented to the district office. Additionally, we require a Conviction Statement form to be completed and notarized by our staff. Background checks are still run.
