Volunteer Application Process
OCSD values its volunteers who support student success in various ways.
Oregon Law requires that all employees, vendors, or volunteers pass a background check for the safety of our students.
Until further notice, OCSD requires proof of vaccination to be turned in to your school's secretary prior to volunteering.
