How to Volunteer at Northrup

Calling all volunteers! Your help is needed to help with on-campus events and activities. Several parents have had questions about how they can be involved in volunteering on-campus. To help make the process easier, we've gathered some information from the school and District. Please direct all questions to the school (info later in the post) since they are in charge of the process. If volunteering on-campus is not for you, the PTA also offers off-campus volunteer activities (e.g., preparing & planning for events, etc.). We'd love to volunteer with you!

If you're interested in on-campus volunteering...Read on!

AUSD volunteer clearance is needed to help with on-campus events. These include large school-wide events (e.g., Dodger Day, Trick-or-Treating, Lunar New Year, etc.), grade-level events (e.g., class parties, special activity days, etc.), or classroom events. 

To promote school safety and health, the District requires volunteers to submit:

• AUSD Volunteer Form

• Photo ID (e.g., Driver's License, State ID)

• Negative TB Test Results

• Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination

• Completion of Live Scan Fingerprinting/Background check

These items can be submitted to either Maria Venhuda or Jenny Du in the Front Office. They will photocopy everything and submit them to the District for approval. Please note it can take at least a week to be approved. Please contact Ms. Venhuda or Ms. Du in the Front Office if you have any questions about the process or items required for clearance.

PTA members - You may apply for reimbursement of your Live Scan Fingerprinting costs if you complete 30 hours of volunteering with PTA events.

Not a member? You can still join the PTA and apply for the reimbursement! Visit: jointotem.com/ca/alhambra/wm-northrup-parent-teacher-association-inc/join/register
